It doesn't matter where we start the hog, what time of day or what the terrain is our hogs can flat out fly. They have had so much hunting pressure that they almost refuse to stop. They get worse and worse. We used to think a dog that went two miles had bottom but my dog and two dogs of my buddies ran a hog for around 4 miles before they finally bayed in a brush pile in a orchard in the middle of a plum thicket last week.

Where part of Texas are you running these hogs?

The Stephenville Texas area. There is almost every possible thing a hog can hide in. Anyone who thinks they have some 'Stop' dogs need to come hunt with us. But i do give credit to the south texas guys who hunt in black brush. That is some bad stuff

I voted for pasture, mainly since that's what I have to hunt, but I have one that is worse than others for running hogs.  It's pretty open, with patches of thick stuff all through it.  It's like the hogs will run through the thick stuff, then break out into the open and hit the afterburners and never want to stop until they get to the next patch of thick stuff, then the dogs almost catch up and they're gone again.  It hasn't been as bad yet this year but last summer was real bad for running hogs.  I watched one go over a hill with a dog hanging off his ham trying to put the brakes on him, but no dice.  Not a real big hog either, maybe 160-170 or so.

Briar Patches, which seem to make up about 50% of the landscape on most of the places we hunt. Briar patches that are over your head and have thorns not little stickers.. A hog in a 200 acre briar patch has all the advantage he needs. I like wendler's idea about burning them down but you would probably get in trouble for burning half of al and ms.. Although it probably wouldn't hurt much lol..

Thanks,
It sounds like hell for a dog and a hogs Heaven!
Never hunted that area. A friend of mine is working on a big property to hunt around Stevensville. Im not sure how my dogs stack up against anybody elses for stopping a hog, but if we get to hunt it Ill let you know how it went for us.
 
That South Texas Black brush is something aint it? It didnt take me long to figure out that cactus is the least of your worries down there! How about those Blue brush thickets though? Nothing to stick you but that stuff is taller than me and thick as the hair on a cats back! By  the time we drug a good boar out of that stuff last year I was missing my boots! lol
We caught some hogs and had a great time last year but our dogs really got tested in South Texas! I aint never hunted a place so dry.

I would say it all depends on the hog
