Oconee..."stopping a running hog" probably has been the biggest issue I have ever dealt with since I have been hog hunting...that is why I love the late winter months when hunting in S.E. Texas...the cooler weather helps the dogs and in most areas the woods open up and that combination equals greater success...but I also have seen other factors come into play...turn the dogs out and they catch one just as soon as they are out of the box...then on another full moon hunt I see one of my dogs running along side a hog and the rest of the pack trying to catch up and I just can't figure out why that dog isn't pulling hair? because that dog is usually pretty gritty...just rambling...I reckon it is a fine line and depending on how the dogs feel they can be on their side on any given day...meaning to stop them quick or run them till they bay up...

I like caught hogs so I am breeding in a 1/4 to 1/8th catch dog in my pack to get them over that fine line...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
