Wasn't that the high fence place ? If so that is even more impressive. I have the most running hogs in a high fence. Seems they run right to the hole in the fence.

Best hunt I have been on was 15 hogs in a little over two hours  we never lost sight of the truck.  We left because we were tired and cold.  We left with hogs still visible.
  Hunted down near Houston and caught  12 in a few hours. We could of kept catching them but why after that many.
  Places dictate high numbers more so then dog ability. The places where a dog shines is where there are just a few hogs.

Yep, notice cantexduck said in a few hours.

I got to go with CWard to a place in Marlin Tx early this year and those dogs of his had a wad of hogs in no time, can't remember if we had 11 or 13 that day but it was a mess of them and we finished and rode into town and were in line for lunch by 11:30 or so. Very next day him and TShelly and BigE caught another 10 or better in the same timeframe. If they'd have wanted to work hard at it all day (like they do in competitions!!) there's no telling how many they'd have come out with!

If a fella haves the place, the dogs and the work ethic, Its achievable.

we hunted one fenced in area and it didn't take long to catch all the hogs...but the woods were open enough that the dogs were able to run down what they started...but on another place the palmettoes are thick and the hogs will run and run...the dogs catch a few and we shoot a few but not as easy as one would think...
