I remember when it used to be good hogs. They never ran and would sit up and bay. When I was about knee high my uncle uncle sent a bulldog, bulldog caught the hog which ended up being a Barr @ 345lbs. He could flip the hog by himself and there Damn sure want any cell phones I those days, so he pulled the bulldog off, left the hog with the dogs still baying and went picked up my dad, went back to where he left the dogs which was about an hour later, and they were still baying in the same location. Nowadays that number 2 wouldn't happen in 100 years. I guess my point is, people change from decade to decade. Therefore wildlife will change from decade to decade, BUT I think there is a way to reintroduce good baying hogs in an area and it all starts with management. Take out the small framed long legged hogs and introduce more domesticated hogs to the woods. I'm not talking 100%, I mean bread a few I pens and gradually turn em loose. After all, that IS the reason we have hogs here today... Pretty much go back  to what started everything ( meaning domesticated hogs escaping turning feral, which led to big framed short legged hogs) along with some culling, and eventually you will be satisfied with what the outcome is...
