He hunts out about 400yds. Thats why I picked up that redtick to get a little more range. That being said if he hits a hot track he'll run it out. I've had him with my cousins walker dog on a boar that ended up running 1 1/2 to 2 miles and he hung in there with the big dogs. Hunting him by himself or with my redtick the hogs usually will bay up pretty easy. He bays pretty tight but just don't put to much pressure on em and they will usually hold pretty good for him. If they break bay he will put some teeth in em and shut the ol hog down. I've had better luck with him on hogs not breaking bay.This was my Mullins "Trouble" at 10 months on a 233lb. boar to give you an idea of how tight he bays.
