There really is no right or wrong answer when it comes to stopping a rank boar. If he is rank enough to fight the dogs, then he is usually caught with either rough dogs are catchdogs. If he breaks & runs your only choice is a dog with bottom. How much bottom depends on how much property you have to hunt on. This topic might be better titled: stopping running hogs because rank hogs normally fight & then they get caught running hogs, if they run far enough live to run another day.lol RCD's will not do any good unless a hog stays around long enough for them to get their teeth into them. In our brush, if a hog breaks before they get a chance to catch him, then you are off to the races. My own personal preference is for a dog with bottom. I have had people hunt with me for years bringing dogs that only run 2 or 3 hours & quit & plotts have gone on to bay or catch the hog. Don't get me wrong, I still get outrun, but it is more that I pull them off after a all day race. I don't care what you hunt, the fact is that you will not catch them all. The other side of the coin like stated above, I can't turn these dogs loose just anywhere. That being said, I can put the breaks on a dog but I can't put a motor in them. All that being said Hoghunting is just a sport & one we all enjoy so hunt the dogs that give you the most enjoyment. We all get outrun, we have all had that bad boar that has cut us down. Just goes with the territory.
