Ive hunted land that had no dog huntin pressure and could say their were a few hogs that would break and run on the first bark, then on other instances would encounter barr hogs that would just sit choppin their teeth or try to put a hurtin on the dog.
I could say that non dogd land still has its runners.

Do you understand why? There is one thing that jumps out to me that has nothing to do with the hogs never being dogged.

Oh I spec I have a good idea or two .. but, it aint really important is it??

[txmaverick]

Well yes i would say it is important are at least it would seem important to you or why elese would you bring it up to start with. Clearly you dont have a clue or you would post your ideas like the rest of us have right or wrong.

I think them pigs layed up to be caught. They probably heard about Obama's health care deal going through and how it tramples the US Constitution. They figured they may as well give up before things get too bad. Why prolong the inevitable suffering. Probably could have caught every one of them that day with a crippled chihuahua.
                             But then it could have been for other reasons I can't think of right now........

I copied this post from another forum. A fellow from down in south Texas posted it:

Traveled to McCook last thursday to do a little hunting of some hogs that had never been dogged. They had never seen a dog but they certainly knew what a pickup and rifle was. We were hunting in a 1200 acre bloc of crp that was surrounded by cropland. The hogs were coming out in the crops at night and wrecking havoc. All we had to do was drive on the downwind side of the desert willow thickets and when the dogs would bark(usually Quirt) let them go and it wouldn't be but a couple of minutes we were bayed. Let catch dogs go and catch the pig. No breaking, running or anything. Not even any thorns to mess with. In all we caught 15 hogs with the largest being a 175 lb boar. When I left Sunday morning all the dogs were sore footed, including me.

Just curious, I wonder how many people understand why those hogs bayed up so well , were so easy to catch and didnt run ?

OK, OK! I know whats happening here. Its happened to me before and I feal silly just now seeing it.
Them hogs had already heard about this ole boys dogs and thats why they surrendered 1st bark out of the box!
 
Case and point:
 
I had an old dog that was "some kinda jam up"! I mean ole Gus could sho nuff shell down the corn on the hogs like you aint never seen before! Word of him got around way to fast and thats were the problem lay and after a wile, it sure made that ole dog lazy!
It got to the point that soon as I would drive up on a hunting spot he would start barking like an idiot. Way before I turned him out. People who didnt know him got aggravated and wanted me to shut him up.
I always had to explain that it wasnt bad trailer manners at all. He was simply announcing his arrival, allowing time for most of the hogs to surrender before he cute loose on the runners! He sure was a productive old dog but got plain lazy about hog hunting in general!
 
The only way we can fix hogs from baying so easily is to keep the hogs from communicating people! How the hell are they finding out about these good dogs anyway?
 
Disclaimer: Dont read nothing in to this post. It is all BS. Completely void of any hidden messages or opinion! Im just aggravated about our dry run yesterday! lol

Mr. Uglydog, no offence to ya but, normal circumstances I wouldnt mind offering an opinon but I aint looking to start a problem or to cause one and I believe I see one brewing for some reason. Not sure the motive or reason why but it's pretty clear someone has an agenda of somekind...All the same to you, I'll just let it be and not let something become a problem the mods have to deal with.
 Besides I'd say there were others who already offered some good opinions and ideas, including a couple from the feller takin the pot shots at me that I'd agree with.

Yeah!
I find it pretty funny and a bit confusing at the same time Mr Skoalbandett. Between you and the feller taking pot shots at you Im guessing, collectively, there is better than 70 - 75 years of hog hunting experience!
 
You older fellers usually "side up" with one another.

[txmaverick]

I am to guess the "pot shots" you speak of are from me, if you want a pot shot I can sure fire some, I have not yet at this time taken any. You spoke up and started a thread, and started it from a point of view in my opion like you were the only one that knew the answer and wanted to test the rest of the world. But then when asked your self to answer your own question you seemed to not like that idea.

If you think I have some agenda against you, you think way to much of yourself, i dont know who you are nor do I care to. Besides what on earth kind of "agenda"  could I have that would matter in the least here, with this little pointless thread?
I might make you look bad? You even said you agree with some of what I said, so I cant make you look totally bad.

I mean really get over what ever is the problem and answer your own question.

And if you prove me wrong on something I dont care, I know my area and my hogs and my dogs. Cutter Bay and I never see eye to eye on anything. Never have and never will, that bothers me none in the least, he most likely feels the same about me as I do about him, and that is water off a ducks back to me.

My point is dont start a thread then back out of it when questioned, that is like turning your dogs loose at a corn field then thinking "oh that looks to thick i might get hurt if i go in there to the bay, but you leave your dogs on the ground".
