EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

i have always wondered why some folks put way more credit in their dogs then they deserve and every time you someone else goes and hunts with em they have a full line of bull lined up to give their dogs a excuse do y'all think ppl actually believe what their sayin and never seen good dogs or they know their lieng ? and i mean the guys whose dogs stand at their feet doesn't honor bays ?

As soon as you brag on your dogs they are like anything else they will make a liar out of you. LOL

WELL SAID!!  :D

 Its like everything else, my hot rod is faster than yours, My fish is bigger than yours, I think its just human nature. I dont really brag on my dogs but if they are hunting like sh!t Im the first to say so.

I wonder why it matters ?  If thier dogs found/caught a hog, don't they deserve the credit for it?  Who is the approving authority on hog dog credit, and how does one apply?   I just want to make sure I've got the right amount, not too much or too litte.... rolleyes

The bottom line is, unless it affects you, who cares what somebody else thinks of their dogs, and if their dogs do a good job and they want to tell about it then more power to them, at least until it comes off as cocky bragging.  If you don't like listening to somebody, you don't have to hunt with them. 

i don't hunt with em and the particular guy im talkin about is affectin me because he is goin around to my landowners talkin about his dog bein so good and smack about mine i don't talk about ppl i mind my own til it affects me and him talkin to my landowners affects me so i find that my business and was wonderin why folks would do that

i've been wondering that for over 50 years......haven't figured it out yet...so that means I probably won't and neither will you. It's just the way some folks are.....we had a Chief at the fire dept. like that once, only way he thought he could build himself up was to dog other people. But it caught up with him! lol

He's probably jealous of you because you have better dogs and more land to hunt than he does.  If anyone truly knows him they will know he is a liar just like you do.  So take the high road and keep the land owners happy and if they are men of honor the will stick with you.

If you've been taking care of your business and "your" landowners are satisfied with the terms of letting you hunt, what are you worried about?

If they deny you access to hunt because somebody they don't even know shows up and starts dogging your program, perhaps the landowners themselves are the ones you should really be concerned with...

I have always believed and said if somebody is willing to talk trash about you and your dogs then you must be doing something right. That they must do that to make them feel better.  You just have to remember what goes around comes around and most folks like that do not last long in this sport. Or atleast that is what I have seen in the past.

bryant not worried about losin my places just wondered why ppl got be like that most my places are personal owned ones or family or personal friends im not worried about that just don't see why ppl have to be that way that's all

The only problem I've got with running my dogs with a dog whos owner hyped them up  just to have them not honor my dogs is that my dog ends up with no reenforcement and I could have brought another of my dogs. Once I was hunting with a guy who for weeks before the hunt was saying how good his dog was and could be run "one out" and rack pigs, But when the day of the hunt came his dog spent alot of time running around out of sight and every time the dgos would hit one the guy would look at me and point out that it was his dog that made that hit and how good the dog was! I finally got a little bothered to the point of sayign something and the next time he turned to me and said "My dog is mean ah??" I told him yeah you should tell the dog that, Not me! He caught the drift and never said a word the rest of the day and also when we hunted again he never brings a dog any more!

Now as far as downing on my dogs I enjoy the outdoors as much as I enjoy working my dogs by myself so let's run just your dogs!

That does put things in a little different light.  Hopefully with the landowner, your ACTIONS will overrule this other fellas TALK.  As to why somebody would do that, I wish I knew the answer. 

yes sir it does i shoulda stated it earlier and i guess no one will know the answer to that ? just one of those things that eats at me ps the landowners are laughing at him its just principle of the situation that bothers me

I had a ole boy tell me one time to NOT TRUST ANYTHING THAT WILL SCR** its own momma or sister..... But I believe some folks just talk to much and sometimes they step on their own tongue!

just let him keep talking and soon enough he wont have anyone to talk to, everyone will get tired of his mouth and wont invite anymore, your better off saying your dogs are ok and let them prove themselves that way if they have a bad day you dont look like a jackass, and if they do good people will say dang thats what you call ok them some jam up dogs ;D

Well there is one thing i have learned over the yrs is that you can lie about a dog all you want, but a dog will tell on its owner everytime.
 but on the other hand, i have seen some pretty good dogs that would look like crap if you took them around strange dogs and/or people. like was stated earlier a dog will make a lier out of you everytime, at least mine have, so i have learned to never bragg on my dogs ability, and that dogs are not robots, they will act differently in different situations, they do have a mind of their own.
 As far as why do people talk trash, and beef up their dogs that aint worth a crap? well i guess its just wishful thinking and alot of jealousy.

Like they always say (When the Tailgate Drops ) :o

look at it this way old saying (some people would rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth) It never has bothered me for someone to say mine struck or treed  or bayed or caught because if you know your dogs GOD and you know what they did who cares what anybody else thinks.

Yep! It is simply just the way some folks are but it always catches up to them.
