Whooped, Out ran , Cut and more !

I do believe that you've got he right idea seems to me hogdogs. Obviously this hog is wise and has little fear of a pack of dogs. I don't use a bulldog, just didn't start that way and doubt that I ever will, but, I do understand you guys that do. Let me suggest a plan that you might consider: Go without the bulldogs, and take plenty of bay dog help. If you can get on this old boy, let part of your dogs on him at first, if he's like the ones we have here, he has, as you stated, a route that he will run and a plan to lose the dogs. We have run several that when jumped fight for a bit then take a tour of the territory, may be a big tour too, but when they don't shake the dogs, they return to almost the spot where you got the race started and make their stand. Sounds like this hog did something like that,.... this you can use, if you can get close or in front of him on this big race, put more fresh dogs on him and pick up any that have dropped out of the race. When he does make his stand......slip in....but ONLY from downwind and shoot him the first chance you have....we have done that several times and it works more often that not. Just somethting more for you to consider if you want.....good luck on him and send us some pics when you put a bullet in his head.
