Not to derail this thread, but I've talked with a guy that has a very over grown 10 acre high fenced pen that he keeps a couple hogs in and a bay pen attached to it.  He likes to let a cur dog go in the 10 acre pen to find a hog and he uses a catch dog to catch it.  He then ties the hog, takes it to the bay pen and lets his pups get some work in.  On occassion he will let a pup run with an older cur to strike the hog in the pen to simulate a real hunt in a semi-controlled enviroment.  Seems like a heck of a good set up to train all stages of his dogs when he can't get to the woods. 

Any thoughts on a set up like this?
