Depending on how the hog bayed is my distance judge.. If he's baying and breaking I'll send from a 100, if they bayed him in his bedroom and seems like he's settled I'll close the gap up to 50... As far as expectations they are gonna have to hunt a ear up 9/10 hogs. I don't play the nose or leg catching stuff. If they missed several good hogs in a row for me they won't be on my feed bill. If a hog breaks before the catch dog has the opportunity to get a bite on it they should put in on the race as well til he's caught.
This is how I do it also.
