    I agree I sent Southern Inferno a Pm I would like to get his take on this just for coversation sake I would like to get his input on if this is the norm for a boar hunter. Southern Inferno had some of his dogs on national geographic and they showed just how dangerous these hogs can be so I damn sure wouldn't want to be out there alone with one dog without exp backup.

    Thank you very much
     
  6. Back on a normal note, I dont normaly hunt alone, but I dont sit at the house just because I dont have someone else to go. I am an engineer for union pacific and I work an odd schedule. Therefore its kinda hard for me to get together with someone one every hunt. I also guide hunt. The part about unexperienced baydogs that a few of you have commented on is kind of rediculous to me. You cant expect a dog to get experience setting at the house. On this hunt I had 4 baydogs and 1 catchdog. I normaly have 2 catchdogs. My 2 older dogs were bayed about 300 yards away from where the 2 2 year olds were bayed. I would have had to walkk right past the bayed 2 year old to go to the older dogs. That wouldnt have made much since now would it.

    Sadie one of the guys that taught me has had articles written about him in the 80,s i believe field and stream ..I cant remember exactly which one but i am thinkin field and stream..And he has also taken some famous people hog hunting..I am not saying you loose a dog every time you go .You can get on a streek and not loose one for a while..But from what i have saw soon as u loose one then that can become a streek also.If a hog makes up his mind he is going to do some damage thats what he gone do..If they ever kill a dog they dont forget it and will try like hell to do it again.

    I am not knocking you Op but the way I have seen it done is the dogs are put in a pen on smaller boar as young dogs they start preparing them before they actually take them out in the woods. It's a gradual process at least this is how I have seen it done they don't just take a dog out on a hunt and let it rip for the first time to gain exp there is a process the dogs go through kind of like schooling I suppose you could say they start them off as young pups on baby hogs in hog pens and they eventually graduate and move up from there.
     
  9. Oh you mean like the pen out behind my house? damn i couldnt remember why i built that......Those 2 year olds are way past a bay pen trust me.
     
  10. Hmmm, interesting thread. Congrats on the catch, good hog. Even with the best bay dogs out there, hogs break. Just a part of it. I wish they would stay good and bayed all the time, but its just not always the case. Personally I always hunt with at least one other person if at all possible. It is dangerous and more work than I care to get stuck with by myself. Solo hunt is really a last resort, but sometimes it happens. I also carry two bulldogs, usually one on lead and one in the ranger or truck just in case. That said both aren't always used. I expect a good bulldog to get the job done solo regardless the hog.

    Thanks for chiming In :)
     
  13. It takes a long time to finish out a bay dog. Not like a bulldog. Around 2 years old a bulldog is pretty much doing what its gonna do. At 2 years old a bay dog is just getting wet behind the ears. It takes a lot of hunts and a lot of hogs before a bay dog will lose that puppy classification.
     
  14. Absolutly...
     
  15. I don't know what the laws are in Ark. but in Ga live hogs can be moved with negative brucellosis and pseudorabies test.
