Starting pups

lol well I am an old coon hunter lol and when I started this hog hunting thang I didn't know nary a hog dogger . but I knew the only difference was the game being hunted . I use the caged pig at the end as a reward and excitement for following a trail to it's end . I am talking about 2.5 to 3 month old pups trailing a track thru all sorts of obstacles . and no need to risk getting young dogs or young pigs hurt . I can use the same shoat time and time again mainly . then when the pups get proficient at the game I will let them find it and tie the pups back and release the pig into the wide open yonder and wait 30 minutes or so then let the pups go . I love laying drags and watching witch pups line it out and find it after I put a big skip in the track . and I have had pups as young as 3.5 months old bay up wild pigs that I didn't know were their while on a training exercise . just a lot of fun for me and an old family tradition . me and my little brother laid more trails for my granpaw than I care to remember just teaches a young dog the ropes a lot sooner than the wait and run with other dogs method . by the time you turn them out with the big dogs they already know what's to be expected .
