Where can I buy a Florida Cur?

[crackerc]

I hunt rougher dogs it seems than most guys. They aren't really RCD's as they have enough sense to know what they can handle and what they need to bay (usually...). My dogs are going to pretty much catch anything under 100-125 lbs when they get to it. But I save seen them bay smaller hogs in gator dens or under fallen trees. That shows they have a little sense sometimes, as they know that catching a hog in a tight place can be a bad things without help. Some have found that out the hard way....

But I don't catch every hog I get after either. Thats why its called Hog Hunting and not Hog Catching!!!

If you are consistently catching hogs with your dogs most places you hunt, be happy with them. A lot of guys aren't even doing that.......

When I am talking runners I am talking red road  and gum branch huntin club which would be the murry lease I am game for it any time them shell oil road hogs run alittle to.But do yall hunt a horse back or four wheeler /buggy!when I have hunted those palmetos we have always hunted horse back and I can stay with those dogs.the more I holler the more heat they will put on the hogs.But I am game and would like to meet all of yall seem to be really good guys!

Chance,

    Hunted Shell Oil Road earlier this year horseback with several of the guys from the board. Most of my hunting is done on a Mule ( not a long eared one).  Hunted this place we'd like you to come to a few times on horseback, but it is so boggy that you might start off hock deep, then end up belly deep. Almost embarrassed to admit this, but two times I have had to lead my horse out of there pulling the hog , because he couldn't handle me and the hog in the deep bogs.

Looking forward to meeting you.

You poor guys are getting desperate, we used to have the same problem, Mike I know you remember all the times we got smoked four or five trips in a row and then go on Sat morning and catch three.  I guess I am just going to have to quite sneaking out there before yall and maybe you can start catching a few haha

circle c i just saw a floridian curr dog for sale in batson tx. look in the hunting section of southeast classifieds.com

[Circle C]

Thanks Lazyj, but I really want a dog that's NOT for sale If that makes any sense.

Circle C......It might not be a problem with your dogs, just the conditions.  I will argue to the end that heat and humidity take the same tole on all dogs that have the same physiological heat tolerance (ei. deep chest and thin fur, ect.) and same level of conditioning.  I dont know what kind of dogs you have or what kind of condition they are in (like physical ability wise).  But I know my dogs right now are not very well physically conditioned with only hunting about every other week lately and not even much time to excercise them at the house cause I been buisy with the FD.  Nothing wrong with it its just life.  With that in mind, I'm willing to say my dogs perform 50% better (maybe more) when they are hard and in top shape from being hunted twice a week compared to just average shape hunted once every couple weeks.  One thing you can do is hunt when the conditions are best for the dogs like low temps and moderate humidity (hard to find this time of year) but you might try to hunt those bad hogs hard in the winter when conditions are best and vegetation not so thick.  Then give it a rest in the summer and hunt the places with easy hogs.  Your dogs might not get better but the conditions will and that might be what it takes to catch a few and thin out those runner on that place.

Also......I'd say you wont find many Florida Curs in Texas becuase Florida curs are curs from florida, and why would someone want a florida Cur if they live in Texas?  Are Florida Curs that much better than those in Texas?  I doubt it.  Probly not any difference at all in quality there are good and bad dogs and super dogs in both states.  Just the super dogs are "not for sale", and its hard to find a dog thats "not for sale" that is for sale.  lol

What we need is a way to measure and standardise speed in hog dogs.  That way we will know what we mean when we talk about fast dogs or dogs that are not fast.  Could be they have slow dogs in florida too.   I guess the fast dogs are ones that catch hogs but what happens when a slow dog catches a fast hog?

Sounds good ! Mike did you ever live on fostoria rd just wondering!

No, i've been out here almost ten years... lived in Spring before that. The Gum Branch club butts up to my property along with some national forest... way up on the northwest side of it.

[cward]

[Mike]

I'm enjoying this, its hilarious...I've hunted this place with these guys before, and my dog will shut one down or straight up catch, gritty dogs, rcd's, or whatever doesn't matter, the main problem isn't finding or stopping them its the dogs can't get close enough in the 10ft. thick as he!! palms and brush. These hogs don't give em' the chance to get close enough, and they are rough, they'd just get slung off then burned....happy hunting!!!!!!!!!!

[Noah]

I'll have to agree, there is no magic bullet for thick palmettos... add deep water and you've got the makings of some burned dogs..... Florida curs included

[HogzgoneWild]

We need to get our hands on a yote, or a yote look alike ,
