i am a cur man myself because they get the job done the way i like it.  in response to agteah11. i dont know about "most curs" because there is alot of crap out there and i wont keep it around. but i do know about good cur dogs. they  will hang in the race as long as a hound. now one reason hunts with curs will take a shorter amount of time is there abilty to work a track quicker. also alot of curs will work a track and in the proceses come across alot fresher track and will make the switch and get to a hog  before a hound would. why because alot of hounds stay with the orginal track and run across alot of the much hotter ones along the way. now what i am saying is we could drop a hound in a 1000 acre block of land and it might take an hour for him to find the hog. but it has been my experince that a good cur could probaly do it in half the time. if the hog was moving he could have it stooped a 1/4 or further before the hound found the hog. i have seen a preety good hounds run a track the rong way for 15 20 minutes and we see them go buy us win we have a bay going. me perssonaly the last to hunts i have been on the 3rd n 4 hog we got to were a mile plus away. thanksgiving mourning we started at 7:30am we didnt leave the woods untill 1:30pm. we would of been there longer but we snuk in and caught the dog while he was baying. i was 2 hours late to  thanksgiving lunch. whenever we go to a bay anymore there is 2 peoples responsible for catching 1 of the 2 dogs. if they dont we wait untill the next bay or couple of hours if were lucky.
