I think you're right about hogs learning to run. Seems like they are more skidish than deer now days from being shot at and chased so much. But I also think that dogs have changed too. In the old days when a dog was a nesescity, not so much a pet, they were much more heavily culled by the oldtimers. People couldn't afford a big pack of dogs back then and every dog was a great hunter if it wasn't culled. Our society just dosn't accept that kind of culling these days. Cull dogs, now days be come pets and are usually bred sometime during their life, diluting good lines somewhere along the way.
