It's not really the style I like but I do have some places that are really small but are covered up in hogs. I posted about one I caught saturday evening with just one dog. This particular place is about 10 to 15 acres of bottom land that is really brushy and backs up to a feed mill that dumps their old and moldy feed out behind the silos. I'm afraid to turn my good dogs loose in there as it is in the edge of town and if they break they will probably cross a busy road. This dog is pit/great dane. He will wind and run a hot track but only hunts less that 200 yd. I usually use him as a lead in cd but have started to run him loose on these small places. Saturday I turned him loose and he rolled out to about 200 yd. and caught a sow in her bed. I think I'm going to keep going back to this place about once a week and catch one. A while back I ran him  on that place and he caught one that raked him off on a tree when I went to leg it. It was a big hog, probably 250 or better and I do wish I had run another dog with him. I may run him and my pit cd together and they shouldn't let much get away. I wouldn't do this without the garmin to see right where they are and it's not my preffered method, but I have several of these kinds of places that I'm afraid to hunt any other way.
