i used to have the attitude as " if you need dogs to do the work, then you dont need to hunt".....then i tried it...theres nothing better, well turkey hunting, lol.......the teamwork is incredible...to put all of your trust into the dogs without hesitation and visa versa.....to see them do what they love to do...it's awesome.....not that any of my dogs would do it, if i had to get a dog for hog hunting, i would have to prepare myself mentally to have a hog dog...i get too attached....
