Hog Country California





They put teeth ON fur

Georgia Boy, I know people use jagds and catch hogs, they just dont work in the terrain I hunt they dont have enough leg keep up in standing wheat or beans. They are super cool dogs though just not my cup of tea, but if you ever get over this way bring one i'd like to see how it does. Doug, Thank y...

Right on, and what titles exactly do you have on that dog?

Dont put yourself and your dog in a box! Go hunting as much as possible and trial as much as possible

Agreedlife is too short and money doesnt matter

You dont find many real hog finding dogs around baypens. IMO that is the problem with many curs is that they have been bred for baypen performance. As far as me being to cheap to buy a good dog did you see any where that I have asked to have anything given to me, No you havent. I Would love for you...

Doug, You are asuming quite a bit about me and you know what happens when you assume and just because a dog doesnt make a bird dog doesnt mean it wont make a hog dog.. I assume based off of experience. I hunt a lot with quite a few people and dont see many cur dogs that I feel can improve my dogs d...

I think I have stumbled upon a question strongly backed by a camoed agenda. What did not make sense, now does. With that knowledge I'll withdraw and know far better next time. I have no agenda, but Ive researched enough to know fact from fiction. The long Recoil / Inertia operation is and operates ...

I dont think a true hunting dog would do well in a trial, if at all. Relocating on birds, while often necessary with wild birds, wont win over any judges. NSTRA is probably your best bet. Have you run any trials? To the OP sure why not, there several walking trials in FL that may not be too far. Go...

I did not forget anything...I chose to list only two....and we will have to disagree on the scattergun popularity of those traveling to shoot doves in droves. . Indeed, you did leave out Reliability, something the A5 is known for. Guns shot hundreds of thousands of times, for decades, with NO clean...

'The Auto 5 is often a choice made for the very best of reasons....some of those being memory and esthetics.' You forgot to mention RELIABILITY. It is the original INERTIA driven Shotgun, same as the Benelli As I stated, my uncle has hunted Argentina for 30 years, says it is commonly seen. Only rel...

[quote="Mountaineer"]As a great fan of the Auto 5 in 12 and 16, I doubt it. quote] This was an article I found othe A5 in Argentina used as a House gun for dove hutning guests, a popular choice. The Auto guns you speak of, simply dont hold up to that abuse and are not popular, at least thats what an...

My catahoula dogs could use a bit more hustle to suit me and my black mouths could use more winding ability . I personally dont mind eatin the hogs, smaller ones are excellent the bigger boars are just plain nasty but I have several vietnamese folks get hogs from me that will eat only mature boars....

The most successful hog hunters and dogs I know personally are in Germany. They either drive them to shooters on stand or work 1-2 dogs alone on hogs in cover. I am sure you will agree that the majority of hog hunting in Europe and what we do here are pretty different. When wounded Russian hogs are...

Be cautious!!! I have not read the entire thread, nor do I know the man asking.... but I did let one of my dogs go ONE time. Never will again. They usually breed them with the other breeds to lend more talent to their bulldog types or use them as chase dogs. Getting hurt is a big possibility, but t...

What can one expect in these Seminars to Cover for their dog and how do you rate them 1-10?

Are they teaching dogs or treaching handlers?!

Or both?

I use Costco Performance Chicken/Rice.
Its 28/18.
The Ingredients are top notch and listed online.

I supplement with Vit E and Fish Oil.

Dog never looked so good. Its also $23 a 40# bag.
Ive tried them all, this works best.

Curious to know if non AKC dogs can run?
Im might consider it.

Thnak you

My uncle who hunts the world over, say its one of the most widely used guns used in Argentina shoots for doves, as few can go thousands and thousands of rounds with no cleaning.
Is this true?

Im strongly considering this gun. I want a no frills, reliable gun.


Thanks

Doing the hard thing is sometimes the hardest thing, but its also the right thing.

My best to you and yours. Very sorry.

You could calor email Shane Loveland.

He breeds and hunts over Drahtharrs. Mostly Chukar Grouse and waterfowl.

Ive linked his website for you below to contact him to watch his versatiles hunt.
