I just used regular Wildlife Material Collars. I would join a regular collar to the tracking collar to make it big enough & punch holes as I needed. Now, let me tell you what is going to happen. If you run him half a dozen times, he is going to get a whole bag of tricks. One of the things we found out about this one boar, like Reuben said, he would bed up near houses. Never could understand that but we found him twice in a overgrown lot, bedded down between two houses. Another time I was tracking him down the road & I thought he had been hit on the highway, he was that close. Turns out he was bedded down in a overgrown fence row 20 yards off the highway. This hog would run threw a herd of cows, run down a dirt road for a ways or find some sows & shoats. The main thing, he just ran. A deer hunter finally shot him & called me to return the collar. Another boar we had a collar on would just run & I mean all day. We learned where every briar patch in the country was at. We would never have caught either hog with dogs after they had been educated but this hog got hit by a truck & we found him dead in the ditch. In both instances, that was about the only way we were going to get our collars back. In both instances, a lot of times we jumped other hogs, tracking these two. If you just want to find hogs, I would put a collar on a sow & she will get with a group. If I would do it again, I would probably use Barrs, they just do not roam that much.
