Where I hunt.... Our hogs run, always have, and always will. We started noticing on the garmin that they would run similar escape routes. We changed our tactics. We use plotts and we also bear hunt and bobcat hunt the same plotts we use for hogs. We bear hunt in WV and the houndsmen there will cut dogs in on a bear because the 100-150lb bear dont tree much and they have to be bayed or fought on the ground. Bears are runners....so are the hogs where I hunt. We take 3 groups when we hunt and keep a guy in the truck to watch the garmin and when a hound strikes we hope to anticipate where the hog will run. We are really doing a lot better. We have a low hog population and where we are its a challenge but we adapted and we are baying a lot more. It makes hog hunting more inclusive and the whole group can share in the hunt even if their dog just lined out the track and another groups dog stopped it and bayed it.
BTW...The hogs that bayed up easy are dead and nature culled the weak out in a hurry.
