Ninja, I consider myself very lucky after reading some of the post on here. I hunt big ranches with lots of hogs so If a hog breaks on my dogs and he dont usually run over 500yrds, then I consider that as a long ways. Normally the hogs down hear will break and my dogs will have it stopped within a 100yrds. Most of the land is big oaks and pecan trees with some palmettos(MSP). I don't consider it very thick but everyone that hunts with me does. I am just blessed with (IMO) dogs that work for me and mind me very well. I have been on running hogs and it makes out for a long day or night but very few. I don't know if my dogs can stop hogs in other places and they probably can't but I can promise that they will stay on one long enough for me. The only hogs that I seem to loose is in the creek. My strike dog climbs on there back and drowns them. Sometimes when we get there we have to wait until the hog floats up. Last year he drowned one that was 230#'s. Dangdest thing I have ever seen. Two weeks ago he drowned that one in the creek, I will post a picture of it. This hog did break and run maybe a 100yrds until Rookie got him in the creek.
Look no bulldog, stike dog drowns
