Close Hunting Dogs

My current set of dogs now do not cast out far hunting. However, when they get into them they will stick literally for miles. They are not rough either, so it also depends on how much the hogs run or are pressured as to how much country we’ll cover. I could never hunt 700 -1200 acres with these close hunting dogs without knowing the neighbors. Now if I throw 2 more dogs on the ground with them, they’ll commit more physically to holding a runner. Even if they do decide to catch, one of them rolls pretty good so then a “problem” presents itself with the close hunting dogs on small properties. It’s a tricky answer cause a lot of it depends on the hogs, how often it’s hunted, dogs and terrain. I have one place that you can be in pigs for hours on just a few hundred acres, but it’s because of the terrain - there’s just nowhere for them to go really.

I’m not trying to discount what anyone else has said, but just because they are short range, doesn’t mean they’ll fit small properties. Like Terry said though, you’ll probably not easily find a dog for sale on here that rolls out pig after pig.......
