Good points fellas. One thing I never do is drop fresh dogs on a race. If that set don’t get it then we just didn’t get em. Slim there are plenty dogs that will stick for long long time twenty miles is crazy but I have seen it

Yessir I do believe it. I think it takes a lot of different factors to line up such as right country in right conditions on the right day and definitely the right dogs, but the guys I’ve hunted with that have talked about it, have never shown me. I have one night seen a running hound gyp do an easy 15 behind a hog and we had to cut her off near I-20. I personally have no desire for dogs that will do it simply due to the fact I do not hunt a single place with the acreage to hold that kind of race. We hunted some big grain fields on the brazos the other night and got to see just how well them hogs know what they’re doing. They’d run big circles in that grain and once they knew they were ahead they would cross back out of the fields right on the trail they’d been coming in on. We’d watch hogs cross and 30-45 seconds later here come the dogs. When it’s real dry like it has been down here and the hogs get way ahead, in my experience 9 times out of 10 your not catching that hog.
