Last year I hunted alot with several buddies and we all brought our dogs. We would have 5 0r 6 dogs on the ground. We lost most of the hogs we got on. This year I hunted by myself alot and caught a higher percentage of hogs. I also started using some BIG rcd's. I think the dogs get cocky and over excited when there is a pack looking at the hog. If one starts nipping the hog others may join in and the hogs decides to find a better place. If they are gonna nip, they ought just go ahead an catch. I did hunt with my buddies this year some and we caught 9 out of 10 hogs we got on but my buddies strike dog will bite the butt of a running hog and I had my big running catch dogs who stopped the hogs from running once they stopped. Hope this helps. This is what I have learned the last several years.
