Craig,

   I can only catch hogs on weekends now. Huh? Looking back the last couple months, I have had dry runs almost every time I hunted a weeknight, and every weekend I've been successful...not sure what the deal is.

I'll second that.  The only high fence place I've been on was full of runners.  It was a small place less and 200 acres but seemed like the hogs were doing laps in there Sad.  We ended up with a few hogs and caught an earless boar so we did all right but had to work for it.

Matt, was it all open like that or was there some thick stuff?  Seems like it always takes the dogs a hunt or two before the get up to par in new terrain.  It happens to us every year during grain season...first hunt in the corn almost always results in no hogs and me scratching my head wondering where i'm gonne get some new dogs from.

The scenery pics are VERY deceiving!!!  The areas that we hunted in were shinnery and cedar thickets and for those that don't know a shinnery thicket is like a corn field of oak trees, very thick, very hard to move in etc.  We got on and saw plenty of hogs but the terrain and brush made it challenging to get the hogs shut down and caught.  I know when I use to hunt out west we hunted around similar stuff and the hogs loved the shin oak for the all the reasons mentioned above.  Between that and the rocks the dogs think you have taken them to the moon when they hit the ground.
