I'm not sure what the context you saw it was, but we do have a state management area that is named Relay. It is possible that they are referring to the typical type of hunter that hunts the Relay management area.
They could also be referring to putting some dogs on a track. Those dogs start the race. After the hog is up and running, they catch those dogs off as they cross the road, and repack it with fresh dogs. When you're dealing with a pack of hogs that is known to run, this method works more times than not. As the hog wears down, there are always fresh dogs being put in behind them.
That is the only 2 "relay" hunter descriptions I can think of at this time.

I use the term "relay" in hog hunting, when you catch one hog and the dog(s) leave on another hog as soon as you get there and leg the hog. I think a lot of guys calling it "rolling out" or something like that.
Is this what you were referring too?

I did see a post the other day that called it this. You may have it right there. Generally, I call it rolling out myself. Either way, I like a dog that does it. |

I thought it was rolling out also. Saw it in an ad where he stated the dog was a good relay dog? Not sure what he meant but this is what I came out of it also.

When I hear relay i think of a foot race, probably just ment the dog was a runner, and when i youse the term roll out i mean get out from under my feet and cover some ground and hunt, not sure just guessing.

My Monkey dog is real good at this and I use the term "relay" in my posts. Last winter we got him in a group of hogs at 5:30 PM. He caught one, I legged it and he "relayed" and had another caught before I could get the first one tied. I left my buddy with the first hog, I went to the second catch (that was about 300 yards away) and when I legged that hog, Monkey left again. By 6:15 we had caught and tied 4 hogs..........out of that one group by Monkey "relaying" and going on another hog as soon as I legged the one he had caught.
Thats fun when you can do that!!
