Well after 3 hours and countless miles of chaseing him. Finally found a cut off road, to try and turn catch dogs straight on to him... Well that didn't happen! At least we got a glimpse at him... Add another educated one to the pack.  |

They are getting more common now days. When you start packing dogs to them they will learn to not cross a road. They will start running in a big circle over the same track with a few zigs and zags.

Yeah they are doing that pretty regular here. And racking the dogs off on a sow and shoats. Start out running a good track end up with a 5lb pig!! Be so nice to go back 12 years ago, when you could ride you fourwheelers within 100 yards of a bay and walk the catch dogs in and stand there and watch the dogs bay and work awhile before you turn the catch dogs loose.

Did that last year left on a big big track and he ran to a group of sows and babies. But he got there and he stopped running. Got him and a sow and dogs rolled out n Bayed again mile later. First hog was a Barr hog with almost 4 inch teeth and was over 400.

that hog is built for speed and stamina...we as doggers have done a fine job in culling the barn yard flop eared looking ones...seems like those were ready to stop and fight pretty quick...

We mostly have a good russian population so we get our share of runners. Have a guy here that has actually dumped pot belly hogs & domestic pigs in to try to slow them up. Pisses me off to no end. Instead of trying to breed better dogs, he wants to slow the hogs down so his sorry Chi* eaters can catch one.
Not many places you can go & still have hogs that are probably 75% or better Eurasion & this idiot wants to mess up the gene pool.

Great points as usual, Mike. I can't even hardly remember the last time a group of 15 or 20 Black Bears bayed up and let me ride in and rope 'em.  |

Jody . . I'm just grateful to be back in Texas and have good people like yourself and Thomas (T-dog) to hunt with. I realize there are folks, probably on this board, who remember the old days of open range, semi-domestic hogs and the ability to use stock-type dogs to gather, pen or lead them. You know from our conversations that I have a deep respect for the old-timers who used and developed those dogs and the methods that went with them. But for better or worse . . I don't rely on gathering hogs for any part of my living and I do this for sport and because I love to see good dogs work. So, from that perspective . . no small part of the thrills and rewards of hunting dangerous game with dogs . . is the constant chore of striving to produce better dogs to withstand the challenges. Not finding or breeding easier, slower hogs. Whoever that young guy is who has been cutting and releasing the white, red, yellow and spotted boars is doing us a favor because those would appear to me to be the hogs that have the most domestic influence. Let's remove them from the breeding program! I like the thought of preserving the big, black, wooly dudes who look like a bristle-backed rhino as they bust thru a clearing in this Central Texas brush.
I've seen some good dogs AND some bad hogs over the last month. Just the way I like it. If catching them was easy . . it would be called farming or grocery shopping . . and not hunting.

Well you are looking at a guy who does his best to put some good blooded hogs back in the gene pool. Am I doing it because my dogs are sorry and no account? NO, but my dogs are still sorry anyways  I don't go to catch any ol hog, I'm there for the dogs and to catch whatever has the biggest track out there. When you add a little good blooded hog in the gene pool, it just naturally produces a better Barr hog. I don't care if cuts the running down or not, I'm not there to run a shoat all over the country anyways, so hopefully it does cut down on the running. There ain't nothing better then baying up a group of big toothy barr hogs though, and thats what I'm after. |

^ yup and no matter what some people say now days about whether or not it can be done, I still bay sounders with enjoyable regularity. Not with countable regularity, but enjoyable regularity, even on the same spots with the worst runners I've got access to. It's like God will occasionally smile and say "here ya go bud, I know my hogs are better than your dogs but you deserve a sounder today" lol

I have seen that often enough as well...has a lot to do with the type of dogs one is hunting...but it don't take much to get them to break... |

I grew up right at the end ,when the stock law passed,seen lot times as a kid 20 r 30 hogs called up by my dad and gran dad,and wen it was time for cutting and marking,we would have a wooden catch pen built in the woods,then daddy would weave netts in to a shute to the catch pen,when all this was done,we would ride in to the woods on horses,with dogs and start finding hogs,dogs would keep them tight,we would gather 20 head and drive them bk to the catch pen,and mark and cut,and turn loose,we would do this everyday,till they thought we got them all,be some we would catch and cut and mark,let go,was fine times in them days,ride up on a bay be 15 head of hogs,pick a good barr oit rope him pull him oit tie him drag him home,and have table fare,for awhile..good ole days...they were woods hogs,latter daddy turned russian boars to breed them,were they could survive better because times were changing...
