Runnin hogs or time to raise the bar?

Another aspect of this is the type of catch dogs you are using. I have found it to be very helpful to use catch dogs that can be sent to a running hog or that can be run on the ground. If the catch dogs are down and hunting out short range it takes the advantage away from the hog.

Most of the runners will hold up for the first few seconds and then break. Being on the ground gives the catch dogs a big head start on the hog. 30 sec to a minute faster than a dog turned lose from lead or truck.

I could not agree more Silverton . I have helded mine back this year because I wanted to put another one with him for some help just have not had the right dog to run with him yet . It sure as hell makes a big difference.
