How do you know they are baying 400lb hogs everytime? Are y'all seeing the hog when other breaks?

Y'all c'mon, let's go easy. What part of the state you live in bro? Maybe try the tips everyone has given and if they still ain't working I'd like to maybe get a chance to meet some new friends and try my hand at some big unstoppable hogs. I'm not being cocky, I'll put money on me getting outrun too but it'd be a fun hunt probably. I truly and humbly want a shot at a 400 pounder.

I'm thought of as a smarta$$ and so I just realized no matter how I word it, it still seems like I'm being one. Please understand I'm being honest when I say I'd probably not catch em, but it's always nice to meet new folks and catch hogs that I ain't cuaght before.

I hunted a place for 4 years with a guy I ran with my dogs struck 90% of the hogs there year after year the guy I hunted with was not real experienced in dogging and we had our differences so i started hunting other places needless to say the awesome finished strike dogs i had couldn't stop a hog over 15lbs they would either bark two three times and. The hogs would break or when the rest of the dogs would get there the hog would break. I went from cloud nine with the best dogs in the world to wanting to trade em In for a newer modle lol thinking they weren't worth a poo but 2-3 months of lossing hogs and bam they figured it out. And so did I my dogs would strike them under pressured hogs all the time but couldn't hang with the smarter hogs on the new place that would run .50 mile plus with time we both figured out ways to improve our game and put pork on the table in this game u have to constintly adapt and adjust to every different situation that comes with time I hope u or ur dogs will figure it out and grow from there good luck

Just bc he has a big track doesnt make him 400lb. I caught one ab 2 months ago that had a track bigger than a skoal can and he only went 236lb. Tracks make them seem way bigger than what they are. Good luck on gettin him tho. Im sure its a dang good hog regardless and i would like to try n help catch him if i was closer. Good luck on stoppin him

That's a real far drive for me and my old beat up chevy but I do wish the best of luck to you. Don't worry about how much he does or doesn't weigh, the only way to know for certain is to get that son of a gun cuaght and on a scale! Have fun with it, try to test your dogs ad see if you got a truly bad hog or if the dogs need a different strategy or pack style and have at em! Most of the fun of hog hunting for me is seeing good dog work and identifying/culling bad ones. It's all good fella.

Also the rubs are sometimes chin high and I don't think I have ever been out on this place and not have a hog struck it's just I don't have experienced enough dogs to work on the runners

Hey buddy don't let them get you stirred up. I have hunted since I was alitte boy and had tons of hog go across a set of scale real scales and never pushed one that weighed 500. A 400 pound hog is real rare but has been caught. If the hogs are slipping on you well it happens. Get a fast running cur dog with lots of bottom. Ain't no 400 lb hog going to be able to run all day. Maybe a mile or two but not all day. Now a 175 to 275 boar can run all day. It is a pretty entertaining thread.
