Hog Hunter from Louisiana

[LAHOGHUNTER]

Hello all. I've been a member of the site now for a couple of weeks and I really enjoy reading posts and viewing pictures in the forums. I've been hunting hogs in Central Louisiana for the past 7 years or so; with mostly cur dogs. I did own a fantastic Plott for most of those years but I sold her two years ago because my hunting partners only hunted silent dogs and they didn't like my Plott. Wow what a huge mistake I made in selling my hound!! You don't know what you have until it's gone!! The gyp was given to me when she was six months old by Dan Gardner; I can't tell you how many hogs I've not been able to find (that I would have found) without her. I estimate that she found me 150 or more hogs in the 4+ years I had her. I've tried locating the guy I sold her too in an attempt to buy her back...I have not had any luck. That brings me to where I'm at now. I have some new hunting buddies and we all run both hounds and silent mouth dogs. I'm desperate to get back to having a great hound or two that can find hogs for me. At the moment, I have three Plotts, one is 1yr old, the other two are liter mates (they are only 4 months old). All three are from the Mike Cauley/Trey Love bloodline. The liter mates are from a Mike Cauley gyp and a Jeff Norris sire. The older puppy is from trey's Cowboy dog. I'm investing a lot of time in the young puppies in hopes that they turn out. I'm not sure that I am going to keep the 1yr old dog; he is a larger Plott than what i like. I've been hunting him and he does a good job. Anyway, thanks for reading and I look forward to a lot of great posts on this super website. Thanks Buddy.

sounds like you should have kept the gyp and got rid of the huntin buddies good hounds are harder to come by.If you run out of friends to hunt with just get on here and put up an add i'm sure you won't have any trouble getting guys to hunt with ya.pUT ME AT THE FRONT OF THE LIST hogs with hounds sounds like a blast to me

deerhunter...aint that the truth. If I could do it over again, I'd kept the hound and the buddies, I would have just hunted by myslef. Anyone that reads my post is welcome to come and hunt with me anytime. All Ineed is a little time to plan in advance (get some time off work). Hunting hogs with hounds is fun...a lot of fun.

LAHOGHUNTER-what part of LA you at? I got family up in Shreveport, but no hound hunters. Got a guy from a club out here in WA that is from the Alexandria area some years ago. I lived 2+ yrs in Haughton but the humidity got to me.

I live in Alexandria, LA. I do most of my hunting in and around the Sabine River.

have you ever eaten at Prejean's? I did once. Best thing I ever ate.

It's my favorite place. I eat there almost everytime I go that way. When may parents come in from FL, we make the hour drive to eat there.
