When your dogs start to bay, do yall get to the bay as fast as you can or do yall let them bay a while (if so how long)?

I try to get there as fast as possible. Most of my dogs are young, and havent totally figured out how to stop a runner. After they start baying, adrenaline takes over and makes me want to run to them anyways. the faster I get there and get it caught, the less of a chance the hog has to break or cut the dogs. my opinion!!  |

I don't run to my dogs, unless I hear them getting wrecked. If they are baying I take my time and try to slip in quietly. If they can't keep the hog bayed I either don't need that hog...or I need better dogs.......

I like to let the first dog hit and then listen for the cavalry to arrive and then head towards them and when I am within the last 20 yards I take the thrusters off and sneak in the rest of the way but when dogs are taking a licking I try and get there as soon as possible. When taking the younger dogs it is very important to sneak in so that they don't notice you and come off and come to you.

It depends on what you are hunting on. If you are hunting on 4-wheelers or any other machinery, the hog might break and that makes my dogs start catching. They don't like a running hog. If he does much running they will try to catch him. So my advise is to get away from the machinery and walk or run to the bay so it don't spook the hog. Also if you are running, you can hear the beautiful sound of the dogs.

X2 I like to take my time also. I wait until they are bayed solid and steady and then usually drive to within 100yds or so, slip in and cut the bulldogs loose. If the hog runs, the dogs better stay with it. |

No rush at all with these loose baying dogs... they'll be back 20 or 30 feet talking to 'em. They'll still be talking when we get there. Well, I got a young one who's head ain't screwed on straight yet. I thought it was, but the last two hunts proved otherwise.  |

If they are young dogs I like to get there pretty quick, but with the older stuff I like to listen to 'em work a little.

it depends on who i'm with...when i'm with ushog i have to run because he fly's like the wind to his dogs. when i'm by myself i normally wait till i hear a good solid bay, then i'll walk real fast, run, walk real fast, then run again, when i get close i like to sneak up and see them work then it's on..

I'm seeing lots of different answers which is why I asked the question. We have hunted with people who let their dogs bay a while and get in no big hurry and we have hunted with people who take off like they are on fire to get to their dogs. If our dogs are bayed up in a field we get to them pretty fast but if they are bayed up in the thick stuff we take a little more time to be sure that the hog has pretty much given up on the idea of running because when a hog breaks and runs in the thicket its harder for the dogs to get it stopped again, or at least it seems that way. But there are a lot of variables in this reasoning, like... rcd or lead in cd, young or old dogs, terrain, and plain old personal preference.

I think this really depends on the style of the dogs on the dirt. If they are real catchy, hustle to the bay so dogs don't get tore up. However, if they are more bay until you get there, let them bay for a while. It is good practice for them. I would say the dogs dictate it more than the owners.

we ussally get there as fast as we can , that doesnt mean time wise it was very fast , alot of thick stuff slows us down , nothing like being on your hands and knees trying to get through a thicket to the dogs , and fun getting a hog caught and tied and drug out , aint been on in awhile thought id drop a line , also , just an opinion , you can bust a bay up rushing in to fast
