I don't run to my dogs, unless I hear them getting wrecked. If they are baying I take my time and try to slip in quietly. If they can't keep the hog bayed I either don't need that hog...or I need better dogs.......

I like to take my time also. I wait until they are bayed solid and steady and then usually drive to within 100yds or so, slip in and cut the bulldogs loose. If the hog runs, the dogs better stay with it.
