If one dog tries to catch, then they all need to catch cause most hogs are gonna run once teeth are put on them.

im in northeast ohio, been waitin on swish to let me come down but he wants to wait till after deer season, i just run coon right now

[hillcountry]

JP tryed to tell me thats why they were busting on me and i did not believe him till i got a garmin. they would have the sweetest bay going on watch the garmin the dog thats alittle catchy gets there and bam off to the races. They dont bay so easy the secound time

[smarlowe]

Thanks jp. Hey schitem. Did I just talk to you in text, u 30 miles from cleveland?

[smarlowe]

Hill country, last bay I had I knew a hog was there I'd already seen it while deer hunting went home got my best silent dog brought him back. He goes in to property finds hog quik, starts bayin for bout 30 second to a min. Shuts up moves 150 yds sets up again, same thing. Moves 200 yds sets up again. I'm followin with catchdog , can't get there in time. Moves into thick swamp knee deep water. Dog comes out hour later ?? I get this a lot regardless of the dogs I have there they all will try to catch by thereselves or together. Are we being to catchy ? Need to scale back ?

[hillcountry]

Evrey body has an opinion on that, im leaning on lose baying. the thing to do if you can is try 3 loose dogs then 3 rough dogs and see who produces results it might suprise you.

[SCHitemHard]

nope that wasnt me, id be glad to get you my number, ive been doggin a while so i could help out if you want

i would run a rcd if it was me

[smarlowe]

Schitem, I agree. I used to hav a little florida cur that barked twice then caught. He's gone so I been lookin for a good one. Either my dogs can't get it done or these hogs r just a bitch ! The miles I've put in r unbeleivable. I get one occassionaly but most wuld hav quit by now !

[SCHitemHard]

got a plott

thats what ive heard about ohio hogs is they run a good bit, i had a pit/dogo that helped me get my runners

[smarlowe]

U say u got a plott. Is it silent ? Give me some info if yur tellin me its for sale. I'm always shoppin. Last year at this time I started in south florida and worked my way back to ohio tryin out dogs. I'm self empoyed so I can usually hunt anytime. Get bak to me

[smarlowe]

U say ya live northeast ? Where ya huntin at ?

[SCHitemHard]

haha i wish i still had a plott, i sold my dogs when i moved. all i got is a oversized minature "black and tan"

i hunted alot on our place in spartanburg, and i hunted in GA, FL, and NC. ive been out for 2 years due to a move to cleveland but im still in it when i go back south. im acutally goin back to charleston to see my mom and dad this weekend so i think im droppin by with a buddy to run hounds for a bit

i know a lady that has some good lined plotts for sale, i could get her number and you can call her up, they are redwood/buckeye lines

[tnhillbilly]

Those are coon bred plotts, not sayin they wont work, but culled everyone I tried.

[SCHitemHard]

scott lets see the dogs!!! 

[jassenswisher1974]

Theres a little rumor going around Ohio that I only have the dogs nick palmer gave me, Heres my pack and none of them came from him.
 PR "Swishers Pocahontas Engine Joe"

 "Swishers Weems Huck Finn"

This is "Bacon. She is Half blus tick/ half boxer and I also have her twin sister "Princess"

PR "Swishers Weems Bessie Hood"

This is my catch dog "Samson" This is Bacon and princess's sire

[jassenswisher1974]

All my dogs hunt silent. Bessie is my only finished dog. Bacon and princess are close. Joe and Huck are started and have been in the woods three times. I joined the National Plott Hound Association this year and got the help I needed. My pack is not complete yet but I am getting there. The only dog we havent started ourselves was Bessie and she was finished by a Mr James Jenkins From Hancock County, North Carolina.

[jassenswisher1974]

Forgot this cur pup "Maddie". She is Half Mnt cur 1/4 Plott and 1/4 pit bull. She was born in may and barked at a hog the first time she saw one without any other dogs.

[jassenswisher1974]

Thats a total of 7 dogs that have been started or are finished. 

[jassenswisher1974]

Ya tn. Frank doesn't do it anymore. Its me swisher and nik palmer. There's probly a few more I don't know but what I'm gettin at is these hogs don't get a lot of dog pressure. They just naturally run most of the time it seems. I'm sure some dog power will help. Up here were all still new to the sport, a lot to learn yet !

These hogs get tons of dog pressure from coon hunters. The last 3 times I went hog hunting have seen other people out bowhunting or scouting for hogs. On the whole they are pressured to death. Thats why its harder here than most places down south.
