I figured I’d ask everyone what they are running and what type of terrain. I like to learn all I can especially dogs in general so I figure this might be a good post to kind of nerd out on and just listen to everyone’s background since I don’t know a damned person on here.

I live in north Louisiana. We have the ouachita river running thru our hunting ground. There's delta type farmland/CRP on one side and river hills with pine thickets and cutover on the other side. We hunt both.  We hunt old stock type curs that's been bred around here by our ancestors. My budddies and I breed dogs amongst ourselves. We use these dogs to work cattle as well. I've tried the hound deal but it's just not what the way I care to hunt. I do have a pup coming from a friend of mine (Clue Anderson). That I'm excited to see how it works out.

Hunt here in Missouri. Hilly, rocky terrain with big open forests mixed with clear cuts. Hunt mainly rough short range mtn curs along with BMCs a couple will range out good. A good hog population trumped mainly by pure Russian/ euro boars. Have never caught a striped or spotted hog.

Im in Southern AR briar patches, cutovers, pine thickets & creeks make up where we hunt the most , all my dogs are mixed hound and cur heavy on the hound mix includes Catahoula, Blue tick, Cat, Bmc, Plott they are breed off good dogs I never cared much what there breed was if it was a standard poodle and was a good hog dog I would consider it.
I started off with close range curs and they really weren't working for me when I moved here I was looking for more range. A friend of mine gave me a little Cat hound cross as a pup and man I liked that dog he was all I wanted all business if you saw him he was working I called him my bush beater and I breed him to 3 gyps and thats what ive been hunting. I have and old gyp that originally came from TexasHogsDogs and was past around a little here and she is a good dog old when I got her but still hunting I mainly bought her to breed my male to I got 3 pups off her and that was a chore time will tell where I end up with them.

I'm in southeast Texas... about an hour north of Houston. Typical piney woods, palmetto thickets, swamps, etc... Just west of here the piney woods end and the prairie begins... mainly cattle ranches and farm land. I hunt both, but sure enjoy hunting out on the prairie more. I also do a lot of city hunting... parks, subdivisions, golf courses, etc... That's where having a good handle and tone trained dogs saved a lot of headaches.

As far as dogs, I run some black cur dogs I've been line breeding for several years now.

What part of the country are you from Spring Creek?

Most everything we hunt out here in fayette county Tx is Hardwood Creek bottoms. Depending on where your at you can go from pretty flat to rolling hills. We use shorter range dogs, I like a rough dogs whose first intention is to bay if that makes any sense. My dogs will catch big hog if he starts fighting them or if they think they have the upper hand. I bay and shoot a lot. Currently loading up to go hit some old gravel pits with a bunch of mesquite flat. Will be a nice change of scenery.

We can sure get together for a hunt sometimes. I know the next several weekends are looking pretty busy for me, but we'll get something lined up.

South GA, lots of swamps. Planted pines with flatwood ponds scattered throughout- preferably a hound that will push em out of the swamp

Farmlands with hardwood branches- prefer close range cur, that'll put the stop on one.

But any dog that'll produce pork is good in my book

Clue is the real deal, old man on this board. his cds follow him on his mule to a bay, no leash, he ties up the mule vests them up and sends them in on command. Nice line bred curs as well - respect

A while back I hunted with a young man that had three Pitbull off leash and they would catch hogs... they would break off and leave the Hog alone on command and these dogs had game dog bred in as well...I was impressed on how well these dogs minded...

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...
