Craig,
I think I must have hunted with some of that man's kin folks in Evadale, TX. They take their dogs out, and listen to them bay, break, bay, break...all night long. They don't take catch dogs, and have no intention of actually catching a hog. They just like to hear them work. My first and last hunt at that place. It was flooded timber, full of cottonmouths, and running hogs. Heck, I can hunt in those conditions at home.
