I get into central Ca. every few months as I have in-laws just out of Fresno. Where are you located? I know a couple of old hound hunters around Sacramento.

I know just where you are located. Any good opportunities for an old fat man to spot and stalk a couple of hogs in that area?

[huntingfool]

ya i now a few ranchers that let me kill hogs on there ranches but it hasnt ben that good lately i hope this cold weather moves them out of the high hills

I live in turlock about 30 minutes south of lodi. The only advice I can give you is stick to walker dogs and dont be afraid to cull.

[houndcrazyfool]

i just registered on here also.
What kind of dogs do you have and how old?

[lepcur]

I'm glad to see a few younger folks getting started in the dogs, welcome and good luck, Mike

Welcome to all the newcomers! I too like to see the youth getting involved in the sport of running Hounds!!

I'd say to you as you're starting out early, save yourself a lot of troubles and money, by getting yourselves a well bred Plott Dog!!!
Most for sure WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!!

Take it easy!
