O yeah and I didnt even mention the Choppers chasing and killing them . Do ya think the ones that got away learned anything from that ?
Whats left ? The best of the best of running hogs !
From my experience, the hogs that beat the choppers are the ones that squat and hide. The runners are the ones that get caught out in the open and killed. I don't know about you but hogs that tend to squat and hide have always been the best to bay for me. I think the ones that survive the choppers are selected in our favor.
A man could change his tactics and dogs, and it might make a tiny bit of difference. I could go on about what sort of tactics and dogs make hogs run but most people don't want to hear it. A lot of them believe it is the way to stop running hogs. If you really wanted to change the hogs, the only way to make these hogs better is to breed it out of them. Pour good blooded hog genetics to them and see how fast they change. If a man had a good chunk of country and time he could effectively change the hogs from wild and spoilt..... to free ranging livestock that could be gathered and penned.
