We have runners and thickets!! I have never hunter your country so I don't know how it is!!Hear about 3 years ago I was told of a boar hog that was in a 8000 acre lease that could sure smoke a dog!!Bad Thickets!!
I went to try to catch him and sure enough he out ran me 6 different times!! Boy that sure did embarass me but!!I came up with a cure for that hog!! I have a gyp with lots of nose lots of bottom but runs track for track and barks every time her foot hits the ground!! Then have a male dog that runs wide and is silent when I say runs wide he will leave a track and start trying to cut the hog off (BRAINS) and he can fly!!If he gets throwed off she will put him back!!So this is what I did I put them two on the ground and they bayed together the race was on it lasted about 1/8 of a mile !! The male dog was always way ahead of her and she was barking on track well the hog thinks the dogs are way behind because he heres her barking and the silent dog is cutting him off!! It has worked for me ever since!!! I start all my dogs on cows first so they will learn that I want them stopped and bayed that means get ahead and stop them not not bitting the nuts!! If I have a dog biteing a cow on the rear end he is culled that day!! My dogs do not see a hog until they get the cow thing down first!! My point is if the hogs are getting smarter than breed your dogs smarter and better!! Everytime I have a litter I am thinking of there next cross!!Oh when I say started on cows I mean brush cattle braman cross wild goofy cows that run when they hear atrailer and lay down in thickets to hide from you!! I too release and preserve the hogs!!I would much rather a hog than adeer!!
