With all the bickering about all the hog rules in tournaments this year, I was thinking about putting together a little tournament... ALLOWING BARR HOGS!
-2 man team
-2 helper limit (helpers could only help handle hogs after they are tied, no handling the dogs)
-1 strike dog
-1 cd
-No substituting dogs. You get your two dogs and thats it. Same two dogs the whole tournament. Your strike dog gets hurt, you better hope your cd can strike a pig. Your cd gets hurt, you better hope your strike dogs can catch a pig.
- Probably $400 or $500 entries
-BARR HOGS ALLOWED, a hog is a hog in this tournament
-Live catch
-No stringer limit
-Winner would be most weight brought in, period. If you catch two hundred 70 lbs hogs, your probably gonna be the winner
-There would be a polygraph!
This is just the main idea. If there is interest, I would take the time to write out an official thing of rules and what not.
Thinking about calling it "Top Dog". Something like this would really show the "best of the best". The best men and/or women in the woods and the best dogs in the woods.
If there was interest, I would get some buckles made. Maybe something like, one buckle says "Top Strike Dog 2013" and the other buckle says "Top Catch Dog 2013". Then hopefully pull together some sponsors and some good prizes and all that.
Everything depends what kind of interest there is in something like this. It would be held later on in the spring, once everyone and their dogs are good and legged up, if there is interest. Who would be interested? Give me some feedback.

That's sounds awesome. I think observers should go with each team as well.
Me and my dogs ain't ready for it but the concept is great. A true test. Maybe next year, lol.

Monty, you can run them wiener dogs for all I care haha. The rules will say two dogs, doesn't matter if they are both catch dogs, both bay dogs, both hot dogs, whatever, as long as you use the same two dogs to stack pork all weekend, you will be within the guidelines  I think this will be a good way for people to meet and show their best dogs. Would be a neat way to set up breedings of top dogs and really show what people got. I would be expecting top weights to be coming in above 2000 lbs. Since this would be a smaller tournament (I think), I would probably have the weigh in time mid afternoon to give people a chance to hunt or sleep in Sunday mornin as well. How would a 3:00 pm weigh in sound to y'all? |

well you ask for opinions i'll give you mine for what it's worth . me personally i wouldn't put my best dog in that kind of situation for the sake of a buckle and braggin rights . this being a catch and tie just sounds like trouble . dead hog turny might be differant . i caight and killed plenty with just two catahoulas but i remember plenty of wrecks as well lol but i was by myself all them times with no help . i would be more in favor of a pair of dogs and a cd at least a pair of dogs could hold a bay better .

You got my interest Taylor... but I'm with Mr.Whitten on this one. I think it would be safer for the dogs sake if it is going to be live hog comp to have 2 strike 1 CD. but that's JMO... I'm still interested if it is just 1 strike, but there would have to be a polly. Dont' you think 400-500 a team is a little steap for us poor folk though??? LOL!  |

Yeah I would say 2 man team, each member has a strIke and catch...
Only having one CD and the chance of it getting out out on the first hog aint worth $500 to me...
IMO, it's still a matter of who has the best spots to hunt, not necessarily the best dogs..
