that is one of the best places I have ever hunted on.  |

One my dogs has went a mile and opened up a few times. Garmin showed him steadily moving in the same direction.
Whats the possiblity of the dog winding the hogs close but they be a mile before the dogs catch up?? Not calling you out, just using your post as an example... The hogs could be right off the road and hear you coming, or if you have a dog bark when he winds one... The hogs take off and be a mile before the dogs get to them... I would guess there would be a few hunters out there that would say there dogs winded that hog at a mile...  I think it is very probable that what you are saying is possible...But most of the time one can tell if the dogs are running a track or winding a hog. When I was raising pups I picked pups for winding and trailing by 3 or 4 months of age. How did you old farts know what they were doing before Garmins    Just Kidding... |

I owned a dog that would wind up to 1000 to 1200 yards watched him do it in the same place more than a few times and every time a hog on the other end . He would wind across a 1000 yard coastal patch take off like a bottle rocket nose in the air and bay up every time two three hundred yards inside the wood line every dang time .

Trenton, it sure is nice telling the story on what dogs are doing what, right or wrong... But the garmin takes the guess work out. |

I would guess there would be a few hunters out there that would say there dogs winded that hog at a mile... Reuben GREAT READING! All my dogs wind/rig if they dont I wont own them. I expect mine to wind 80% of the time and the other 20% Ill throw them on sign or down a trail. I see your point T.Wilbanks, My lead dog is 6yrs old now and I have caught hogs with him a mile from where he jumped off the truck. He is DEAD SILENT, one minute he will be on top of the box and the next he will be gone. No whining or barking at all. Now I wonder like you said was the hog couple hundred yards off the road and started running when he heard my truck??? Was it a pack of pigs so the smell was alot stronger??? Does my dog just have that good of a nose??? IDK But I have seen and owned many dogs that would do this. The hogs at my place dont run bad either and there not pressured to bad. I live in N FL and these woods are THICK and WET, its not open at all there are a few clear cuts from old logging but not many, there are canals on either side of the road anywhere from 4ft to 6ft at times. Its not open prairie or pasture. REUBEN whats your idea on this??? I owned a BMC gyp and my current dog a Catahoula both who have winded hogs FARRRRR away from where they jumped off. I guesstimate that anything with in 500-700 yards is fair game for my dogs??? My buddy has 2 BMC (father and son) that are winding machines but there open on track so you could never guess where you think they jumped the hog at. Matt |

I believe my abel dog could wind that far away if the conditions were just right, I've seen him wind a quater mile easy time after time after time. My neighbors goat protection dog can wind a gyp in heat for miles, all my neighbors have the proof of that running in there yards |

So do these dogs start barking as soon as they bail out or once they hit the hogs trail? |

It would seem unlikely they would wind a mile... Given the right conditions tho I'd say it's possible... Most likely smelling the sign a few hundred yards off and taking that out a mile to the hogs, or like they said the hog coulda been winded a few hundred yards and ran when the dogs hit the ground... Figure the hogs can wind the dogs just like the dogs wind them so the dogs don't have to be open to spook the hogs.. I'm sure it has and can happen tho, probably very seldom in reality... I know my dogs won't wind anywhere near a mile

I've had dogs break out of their yards and show up at my house from over a 1/2 mile away when Ive had bitches in heat. Just something to think about on this thread. |

Twilbanks that sure could be. All I had was Garmin to go off of. But he never barked til tracker said 1.08 miles. And the second time was 1.18 miles. I'm not sure if HR winded em or run em a mile. But with this dog I would say winded cuz the dog wont stop a runner

im with Trenton on this one. im not gonna say its not possible, but if you run silent dogs and they leave the country on the Garmin and run a mile or more in a straight line and then bay up. what were they doing? running a hot track, or hot on a pigs @$$ that saw em coming.

I know in my heart my Roo dog can rig and armadillo at 400+ yards when the mood hits her right without any noticeable wind, had many witnesses on this one. I really believe my husbands dog can rig a skunk at a mile and half.
