May I ask ....

Do you believe the hogs are running before they ever see a dog or do you thing they run after they bay?

Do you think the dogs will be fast enough to run hogs down in your woods and catch them?

My guess is that the hogs know the dogs are there well before the dogs get to them and I think they are up and running ahead of the dogs.  In my woods, the dogs are not going to catch up to  the hog, you better have a dog with an accurate nose and a lot of bottom to keep running the 5-20 miles it takes for a hog to stop and bay.  In the case I am referring to, I don't think mixing in any pit will help.  I wish I knew your land better.  I think road access and property size also has a lot to do with it.  I don't really want a 20 mile running dog.  Ill take 4 or 5 fast running dogs and keep swapping the dogs out when I see the road cross.  I assume since you are able to shoot them, you must be able to get in front of them.

If you believe the hogs bay for a second and then run, mixing in the pit may be a good idea.
