[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2497726, member: 122313"] This is 100% correct! A lot has to do with terrain. Are you hunting off horseback or out of a buggy or an airboat? Are you hunting in thick timber or a marsh or the red dirt of the west Texas mesquite ocean like we do? Are you hunting big parcels of land or 100 acre clumps? How good of shape are you in personally? Could you play 20min of competitive soccer with the high school team or do you get winded putting shoes on? You got closer working dogs like pits and curs. And long working dogs like Catahoulas and walkers. Or these heathen German short hair pointers we got to chase quail with who have no fear in baying up a big sow. There are lots and lots of variables and one size doesn't fit all. I will say that hunting hogs with dogs isn't for the tender hearted and thats why I don't personally own "hog dogs". I have lots of friends who do and I usually just drive the buggy. It can be pure pandemonium with 40 legs and 20 eyes and a **** load of teeth milling around a cactus patch. And like someone else said....don't get too attached cause it's not an if or when a dog or person gets injured.....its a "how bad". I had a friend in high school who ran walkers and had a Argentine dogo named panic as a catch dog. When that big white beast came out of the box.... EVERYTHING was in panic mode. [/QUOTE]
