I voted for pasture, mainly since that's what I have to hunt, but I have one that is worse than others for running hogs.  It's pretty open, with patches of thick stuff all through it.  It's like the hogs will run through the thick stuff, then break out into the open and hit the afterburners and never want to stop until they get to the next patch of thick stuff, then the dogs almost catch up and they're gone again.  It hasn't been as bad yet this year but last summer was real bad for running hogs.  I watched one go over a hill with a dog hanging off his ham trying to put the brakes on him, but no dice.  Not a real big hog either, maybe 160-170 or so.
