  1. Our ability to hunt game with dogs is always under assault from the animal rights people and our progressive government. I fear that if we don't elect a devout constitution conservative for our next president, we won't even be able to chase a rabbit and we sure won't be able to shoot it. We have lost so many of our freedoms already and they are trying their best to squash independent individuals. They have already rewrote our history books. What people like me are able to do and enjoy now will soon be a memory and we too will be written out of history.
  2. Hello Michael Thanks for the compliment! I would not be where I am today had it not been for the time I spent researching stuff and going back through the archives on the ETHD. There are still a lot of wonderful people and good dog men (and women) that actively participate on the forum but my passion for hog dogging lies in long dogs and lurchers. I feel much more at home here around others that share the same passion I do for sight hounds and lurchers as I'm sure you can tell. Are you one of the few hog doggers in Texas that runs lurchers or sight hounds? Where bouts in
  3. Hello sir! I'm from Texas and share your passion on hogs.
  4. I've got a pretty good story from the night some of the pictures were taken. I use night vision to look for pigs at night in the crop fields. I'm training two 9 month old wolf hound/deer hound/mastiff pups, doing so by taking 1 pup out a night with my stag and letting them catch together on medium sized pigs. A large sounder usually only has 1 big boar in it that I don't want my pups catching yet till they have a little more age and experience. Loan pigs in the fields are generally big boars also and I'll opt to pass them up if I have a young pup... One of the fields I
  5. Hear are a few of my dogs. One is a stag hound, the others are a mix of mostly wolf hound/deer hoxund/mastiff. The black dog in the pictures is 9 months old and has a smidge of dane and boxer in her but is mostly wolf hound/deer hound/ mastiff. The dog pictured with her is my stag.
  6. I got my annealing machine from Ballistic Edge MFG. Think it was www.annealingmachines.com. Once i get everything positioned right, I can zip through the stack of brass. I used tempilaq at first like the tips recommend but it didn't work for me. My best results came from adjusting the flames untill the case necks give off a faint orange glow in a dark room. The plate rotates the brass as it makes its way through the flames. Then the brass drops out the bottom as it passes over a cut out section after its passed the two tourches. Very handy little machine if your doing
  7. Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the welcoming.
  8. I've noticed that having a cell phone in close proximity to you digital scales will cause it to loose calibration and give you squirting readings. Sometimes the numbers won't ever stop and settle too
  9. After time you work harden your brass. If you shoot an extremely accurate rifle such as custom benchrest competition rifle, you will probably see your groups opening up. I'm sure most reloader have used there brass enough times to see some cases start splitting on the case necks. Properly annealing your brass will prolong the life of it and will bring your tiny little groups back if your grouping has fell off do to inconsistencies in the hardness of your case necks and shoulders. Don't anneal more than just the neck and shoulders. Annealing the entire case such as sti
  10. Hello to all! I'm from north Texas. I enjoy bow hunting for pigs and deer, fishing for blue cat and hog dogging. I'm very new to lurchers and long dogs. Not many people where I'm from have them. I have a young group of dogs, the oldest is a 2.5 year old stag. I have 3 lurches which are made up of mostly wolf hound and deer hound with a little mastiff blood in them.
