December 26th, 2009 — Boar, Game, Hunting, dogs
If you ask someone that specializes in boar hunting what the best dog breed is for the job, you are going to get a differing opinion than when you ask the next boar hunter that you come across. There are a number of different characteristics that need to be combined in order to create a good dog for hunting wild pigs. Some of the more popular dog breeds for this purpose include the feist, the cur, the pit bull and the American bull dog. Regardless of which breed you end up choosing, the right dog for the job is going to be one that has plenty of stamina because your dog will need it when tracking wild boar.
Boars were first introduced to this country back when settlers brought about domesticated pigs, allowing for them to run loose. Because pigs have such a high intelligence, they were capable of adapting, breeding and thriving in the area. It was not long before their numbers had begun to increase rapidly. Dogs had to be introduced in order to keep the population of wild boar under control. The wild boars were aggressive toward any people that they ended up encountering and they were also ruining vegetation in the area and were killing smaller animals in the wild as well.
Before you decide to set out on a hunt for wild boar there are some things that you are going to need to know. For example, one of the primary things for you to know when hunting wild boar is that the worst possible time for you to go hunting is in December, as this is when the litters are born. During this period of time, the sows, the female boars, become fiercely overprotective because there are young nearby. Not only could your dog potentially be hurt, but you could possibly be hurt as well. The sow will create a small depression in the ground, lining it with branches and grass for her offspring. The bar will take cover in dense grasses while hunting and you may not notice the breeding ground until it’s too late.
One wild boar hunting dog that has developed an excellent reputation is the cur. These dogs are loyal and versatile, and they have the ability to run over long distances and over long periods of time as well. Many hunters also end up relying on the American bulldog for this type of hunt, though there are a couple of different variations of this particular breed that you need to consider. The Johnson line, for example, is a popular line of dogs that involves a Mastiff and an English Bull dog being bred. Another good line is the Scott line which was bred specifically to deal with big game just like the wild boar for example.

Buck - This is the name for a male deer. The way that you can tell a male apart from female deer is by the antlers that are atop its head for a period of seven months. Other than this, male and female deer are quite similar in appearance, especially during the remaining five months out of the year when the male is not actively growing his antlers.
Buck Rub - This is the action of a male deer lowering his head so that he can scrape his antlers along a tree. There are two reasons why he may do this, to polish and clear away any velvet, and to prepare for competition during the breeding season.
Buffalo Chips - This is a more politically correct way to refer to droppings from a bison.
Bugle – This is a name for the call that elks make during the period of rut so that they can interest females.
Bull - This is the name that is used to describe male elk.
Bulldog – This is a type of mark that is thrown while a hunting dog is returning from a retrieve. This is also referred to as a diversion. The dog cannot switch birds during this process, which means that he must not drop his first bird that he picked up when becoming distracted by the diversion bird.
Bumper – This is an item that is made out of canvas or plastic and that is typically between 2 inches and 3 inches in diameter. Its purpose is to train a hunting dog in place of a real bird. Bumpers are available to hunters in a wide variety of different types of colors. You can find orange, white, black and half black and white bumpers for example. The color that you choose should be based on the current weather as well as what color is going to be most visible for your hunting dog on that particular day. The orange style of bumpers is typically used for the purpose of blinds. While birds tend to be preferable both for dogs and for humans, the supply can be really limited, and so if you are looking for a viable training alternative, bumpers are a good way to go.
Burn - This is terminology that is used in order to describe correction via e-collar that is continuous, rather than what is known as a Nick, which is a type of momentary or temporary correction. This method of correction is used in order to correct known commands that the dog is intentionally choosing to disregard. This method of correction does not require inflicting any kind of physical harm to the dog in order to get the point across, however.
