Hello! Been a fan of the site for years, just now became a member. I've been raising hounds and hunting hogs for over 10 years now and also manage a feed store outside of San Antonio. About once a month I have a dog food vendor come into the store with the new "Best hog dog feed!"- their words, not mine. Just wanting some input as far as what some of you may feed or have fed in the past and what results you saw. Not trying to peddle anything or start a debate, just wondering. Thank you for your time.

I'm a sport mix fan!! Dogs keep weight on well with less feed, have plenty of energy and not near as much mess. I was feeding diamond for a while and it seemed inconsistent and stunk to high heaven!

sportmix myself used to feed diamond but there was alot of chit in the kennels and like said above me stunk and tractor supply would constanly be changing the prices, but i switch back and forth from the blue (26/18) and black (24/20) bag of sportmix for $30 for 50lbs of either one at the local feed store

I honestly like Victor out of all I have tried. The only one I haven't tried is Sportsmix. I couldn't get over the $35 price tag but maybe the feedstore was price gouging me?

Ive tried sportmix but didn't give it time to really answer but diamond is my choice. I don't feed much and hunting hard since Jan with well over a 100 hogs tied (thats a test i would say) my dogs still look great. I'm gonna stick with it for 10 more years!  |

We started feeding diamond in the beginning and noticed that a lot of feed was coming out the back end. We swapped to sportsmix in the black bag and have been very pleased with it. Victor seems like a good feed also, but for us, the price of sportsmix and availability outweigh the competition.

ur welcome!  Sportsmix is the best i've personally ever fed by far and I don't know of anyone that has given it an honest try that wasn't happy with it............when I first started feeding it my oldest dog caught a whole nother gear, honestly I was blown away at the difference in stamina he had not to mention alot less cleanup! |

you should consider selling country value high energy...but the best around but pretty good for the money...
I like sportsmix but when it hit 33 dollars I switched to Diamond High Energy because it is 5 dollars cheaper per bag where I live...I would like to try Victor but there are not any dealers close by...
I would feed country value but I can only get it back home and I will not drive 90 miles to buy it...it is about 10 dollars per bag cheaper than sportsmix...

I use both. Don't seem much difference but my feed store sells ALOT of both so consistency seems to be across the board for both. Both same price but sportmix is 50# so I ll prob go straight but waiting to see if either goes past 29.95 down here
