Went last Saturday with some good guys I have hunted with a couple times before. One of their dogs hit a track and went across the road. Luckily we have permission to hunt there too. Took us 30-45 minutes to pick up dogs and get there. Before we do the old dog loses it and heads back to us. Put mine on the track, he takes it 950 yards and bays. We head to him and it breaks 3 more times. My dog loses it and struggles trying to pick it back up for 30 minutes. Tone him in and put him in the dog box. One the other guys turns the old dog loose and we wait 45 minutes I'm way past ready when he picks it back up. Cut mine loose and catch a nice boar. Sometimes patience leads to success. If I hadn't been with them, I'd have gone on.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

He had been shot 4 times. Pretty nice hog. Sometimes I think we rush them dogs and don't give a fair shake. It was terrible dry and dusty. We have had some rain and snow, so hopefully the tracking and finding gets better. Can't wait till deer season is over.

Dang good boar hog. I agree on the patience part... I know it gets boring sometimes, but it will make better dogs if you let them work it out.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

Yes sir. Most of the time I hunt with a young man whose daddy was my best friend in school. He's half my age and full grown. Time flies. He'll sit back and want to let the dogs work, while I'm wanting to get going and keep moving. Just goes to show, you can teach an old dog new tricks.
