Agteach........Hunts with Curs are shorter because they find the hogs faster and are capable of actualy baying a hog and doing it right so It don't take long to take care of business.
Now as for hounds well I wont go there, because there involves to much trail barking and long races. haha
Mike.....we all know that the best hog dogs were common curs, work a day dogs with no label and who knows what color
Let me say this. When my dad started hunting hogs close to 30 years ago, he had some hounds for coon hunting and Cur dogs for working cattle. He started to use them both on hogs and lets just say he does'nt have any hounds anymore and it did'nt take 25 years to figure it out either. He did have a few good hounds over the years.
