I usually just let it go however, you've gone and made yourself crazy and now you have to keep trying.

My next step would be to write the ranch manager a well informed letter in regards to hog destruction, dog hunting techniques you use, quality and behavior of your dogs, etc, etc. Be sure to include that you will sign a ''release and weaver'' and supply a list of references if required.
In short, you need to make him aware that he has a hog problem and then convince him that you and your dogs are the best solution to that problem. Have a list of good, reputable references available for him so he can do a little snooping on you and your dogs from outside parties.
Just keep in mind that this man has the best interest for the ranch in mind with all his decision making and considering you for his hog problem wont be any different for him.
If he is receptive to your letter then follow up with a phone call and start building trust and repore with this guy.
It may take some time but I bet you will end up getting in the door if they have that many hogs on the place.
Hogs and the damage they do are usually our best friend when acquiring permission to hunt a new place!
Good luck and keep us posted
