I have already recruited the assistance of one of my friends that was a vet tech at a horse vet (I know I know, they are larger animals, but stitches are stitches and staples are staples). And I have definitely caught the bug, I stuck my first pig with a knife last september when we went and got them, biggest rush I have ever had while hunting, it was aboslutely unreal to me that I had the kahones do that. lol. I'm currently workin on gun breaking them since I don't have a catch dog I will have to shoot whatever hogs they bay, and since I ain't 21 I can't buy a pistol, so I'm trying to figure out what caliber lever gun I want (besides that I can shoot a pistol for s***). Other than that I am lookin for other doggers in my area but they are few and far between. I am also on a hunting forum that is just hog doggers and they have been really helpful as well. But now that I know there are other doggers here I will start asking more questions here that way I don't have to bounce back and forth between threads.
