how many dogs

[Wildcat3]

For the guys that hog hunt with hounds, how many dogs do you generally use?

[broncobilly]

Man, there are about as many answers to that as there are people that dog hogs, it is a matter of personal preference. In a perfect world, I like to run 3, one finished dog, one well started dog and one pretty young dog. In the real world I generally run 4, and sometimes as many as 5.

2 hounds and a catch dog unless I have a young dog. When hunting with others we may have as many as 6 hounds on the ground. When hunting as a group, I hunt the hounds that will catch and the others have hounds that bay- once the bay dogs see mine catch they join in.
