Over and over again to much is left unknown in most of these cases to know what trully is going on.

So here are some things I think about before hunting a place I know has sure enough runners.

First, what dogs will I take, the number and roughness of the dogs?
My pack ranges from very rough to loose bay, on places where I know there are sure enough runners I like trying first; one loose bay dog, and turn 2-3 rough dogs to him/her. If this proves wrong then I will mix it up on what dogs I use all the way back to only loose bay dogs if needed.

Second, know the place. Get a map and learn the place like the bakc of your hand.

Third, know the hogs. Learn from them, watch where they go to get away. If you need to go out in the daylight to look the place over and get a feel for what they are doing and why.

Those 3 are just to get started there are many other things to do and remmeber while on the hunt.

The WHY of anything is often the key. If you can figure out the WHY and stop it then most times the hard part is over.
