dang running hogs

[TColt]

Try runnin fewer dogs, the ones with the most speed. Keep the rcd's with yall and let them go at first bark. That way they got full wind when they are headin in. They might be gettin winded faster if they are being hunted on the ground and run out of gas before they can get to the other dogs and hog.

Another thought, if yall are more concerned with catchin a hog than working all the dogs, try hunting just the rcd's if they will track. When the garmin shows them hangin in one spot for a bit or treed/sittin and its still silent, hurry in and turn the other cd to them for some more help if its needed. But I have a feeling you will just hear a pig squeelin and you can just walk in and leg'em. We get alot of runners at times back in the DFW area and it seems like when we do get them stopped they are small pigs   . Most of the bigger ones we catch dont run quite as much. The big ones run once they see a person or hear a vehicle.

Well sorta worked just ran 2 dogs and we had a bay but durn the luck it was in the thickest wind row on the place and the cds tring to get there sounded like 2 elephants and hog broke and dogs lost him man that stuff was thick kinda glad they didn't catch not sure if we could have goten in there or not going back again with one or two dogs and hit them again something has got to work.  If that don't work going to buy every dog on the dog trade for a week straight and run about 15 or 20 dogs on the ground at once surely that many can stop one hog lol not really but.......

Yep I know the pain boyz. I love a good rear end dog but that aint helping either when you gotta hunt these thickets and the hog takes three step and is blocked by a wall of thorns that that rear end dog can't get thru to get a mouthfull. I am currenlty trying the rough angle. Gonna breed the roughest Yellers I can get my hands on and when they find em they catch em and hold em till the heavy hitters get there (Barking is optional but not required). Might have some more RIP on the boards but I am personally sick to death of this running BS.

My dogs just plain got outrun PBC.....and both my dogs are what I call fast, but the hog was faster I reckon. That's the second time this has happened to me on this place, I know that there is a good group of hogs using here, but it's hard to catch 'em in the pines bedded. Got a ton of pics of them and I found real fresh rootin' this afternoon. Gets kinda disheartening to go and not even get a bay bark. But it'll change here soon, like and old man told me once..."the sun don't shine on the same dog's a$$ every day"....I'll catch 'em snoozing there sometime soon.
