I have a couple questions for you guys that are exceeding 20 miles on one hunt routinely.
How many hogs are you catching on these hunts? From zero to 10. I would say the norm is 1-3.
Are you gunning them down, or are you catching them? Catching them, To date, I have not shot over my dogs.
Do you tie or stab? Tie when possible.
Is this for recreation or land management? Both
Do these properties get hunted by other dog hunters? Yes and no, depending on the properties. I prefer to be the only person hunting a property though. When we are hunting the National forest I would say there are dozens, possibly a hundred
hunters or more out there over the course of the season there.
Is it hunted year-round? Yes, most of my places are hunted year round. That said, I have a few recreational places that I have not hunted in ~ 1 year
