Txhoghunter I think you said that perfect!
Where I hunt every hog is a runner I have ruff, silent, open, fast, small, and big they all have there purposes. For isnstance I have a gyp acually the best dog on my place is a semi open english hound she will bay a shoult with out catchin it and she has bayed many many bad runnin boars she has done it in 10 min and had her put the hog at the end of a 14 hr race. My point is its not up to the dog its up to the hog. In my experience if the hog dont feel pressured he will stand back and bay. JMO
And im also like parker I turn 99% 0f the hogs back loose or relocate them. I dont like the hogs bein mangled up I do it for the sport! I cut any boar thats not russian and leave the nuts in the russian! I love the race and challenge of a russian runner!!!
