it seems to me that when hogs get busted up, most of them go into everyman for his own mode, some stick together some go one way and keep going and some kind of duck off to the side and hide. i have seen them bunch up together but not often.
Cows will do that too if you treat them the wrong way.
My dad leased a ranch years back and baught the cattle with it.....actually 3000 acres of brush and not much pasture. The previous leese (the guy we bought the cattle from), well lets just say his replacement heifers were the ones he could not catch. This is what the guy said I'll sell you the gentle cattle and there are a few wild ones that u can't catch and you can have those. The deer and coyotes on this place weren't as wild as some of the cattle. We had the place leased for 6 years and during that time dad made a point to get rid of any real wild cattle that got penned or caught. We trapped a few, roped some and usually would get a couple to the lot every time we penned. That being said when the place was sold and dads lease was up we penned the majority of the cattle and there were still about a dozen of those snakes left, some of which dad had never even seen. All of which had to be hunted one at a time and roped. Turn loose on fresh tracks and start hunting. Work like that is where cow dogs are proven and cow dog stock that does work like that will produce excellent hog dogs. Just my 2 cents.
