Just curious.

How deep do your dogs hunt?

All my older dogs and now my young dogs seem to be ranging out to 800 - 1200 yards and in some cases even more.  They will hunt short , med for a while if the hogs are there if not it gets real deep in a hurry.  This is a good thing but then again it is a pain in the ass at other times when you are trying to hunt shorter land .  Ain't figured out what am going to do about this .  Boy this is something to be trying to figure out ain't it most the time its the other way around people trying to figure out how to make a dog get out further well my problem is just the opposite .

The only shorter closer hunter I have is my Lacy gyp 100 - 500.

It seems like to me the land these days is getting shorter and shorter .

Anybody having my kind of problem here?

this was exactly my problem when I got out in 2007. Now I am having problems getting some good dogs.

my plan is to just get dogs of this same type but to put more teeth on a hog...

I don't like loose baying dogs that will never put a tooth on a running hog, I don't like a short range dog and I can't stand a dog that quits a hog or a hog track...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
