[BA-IV]

Are you talking about the longest dogs have stayed bayed on a hog or how far off you can hear one?

Hey Rowdy .07 sounds like my dogs, I can still hear mine blowing from that far off from being fat  I figure you meant another number in front of that one.

Time or Distance?

Guy I started with had a red tick Catahoula cross that was very cold nosed, to a fault sometimes. It was like that on this nite. He hit a track and took it. We heard him open up so we knew he was on a good track but the other dogs got hoggy bout the same time. We ended up catching a hog or two with the other dogs but never saw July again. This was the days before Garmin. Bud had a beep beep system and at the end of the nite (bout 3 am) he tried to use it. Couldn't pick anything up. We all worked the next day so we went home. Bud came back the next day after work and drove around...finally found him...under a bridge...laying down...BAYING a fat sow. They were both laying down...July would let out a bawl every so often Bud said. Estimated bay time...12-14 hours.

I've had two dogs get off their chain and go .90 from my house. And I hav no idea how long they had been loose they were on their chain wen I went to stephenville that mornin I came bk at 6 that evening and went to feed and they were gone so I went lookin. Heard them and it took me an hour to find them and shoot the hog

I have heard my dog penny at little over a mile one night she bayed a real nice boar that night for prolly 4 to 5 hours before we made it to her to catch the hog had him bayed up in a deep creek bank and we were standing on top of a canyon is the only reason we heard her

A friend that I hunted with for years had a pair of Running Walker/Stock dog brother and sister go hunting on a Sunday night and were found the following Friday evening bayed on a sow about 3 miles from the starting point. Obvious they weren't bayed on the same hog for the whole time but to be gone for 6 days and still hunting instead of looking for home was pretty damn neat.

[UNDERDOG]

I have had Striker and Preacher man bayed for 9 hours as I sat and listened to them from my truck at 3/4 of a mile out in the bottom.

[Reuben]

many times 6-8 hour bays and 14 hours once but can't say it was the same hog for sure...

We turned a walker dog i owned named amos loose a few years ago on a white footed boar that crossed the road in front of us right before dark 8:15-8:30 or so. Anyway 7:15 or so the next mornin he finally stopped it long enough to send cd's in and i'll be danged if it wasnt the same hog. Longest ive ever personally witnessed.

Honestly he just ran big circles in an old cutover like 1/2 to 2/3 a mile circles, he would bay for 10-15 minutes....sometimes a bit longer then break and run and bay again, amos was relatively new to the core pack of dogs we hunted at the time and to be 100% honest the hog would have been caught ALOT sooner BUT we couldn't get any of our other dogs to honor him......

I guess this isn't really what the op was asking about because it wasn't a solid non stop bay, but it is the longest ive ever been on the same hog..... we just never could get to him fast enough.

I know some people will say that the dogs that wouldn't honor him were culls And I can see why people would say that but to be honest we caught alotta hogs behund those dogs and once amos was around them for a while they honored him and he did them.....they were truely a "pack". They hunted and worked great together but werent quick to honor a strange dogs bay......we had alotta fun with those mutts!

Texashogsanddogs owns 2 dogs copper and superman and iv seen them by there selfs go 1 1/2 mile and stay bayed for 4 1/2 hrs.

The very first year Boggue Chitto was opened to hog hunters Jimmy Jones & myself went. we got into a little herd & caught 3 sows 175#-200# & 3 shoats. My two curs rolled out at 10:00. We carried the shoats to the boat & I took a reading.(telemetry) they were probably a mile in. Jimmy said he was going to go get a 3 wheeler to bring the sows out & I stayed on the bank. 2 hours later he is back with his brothers & 3 wheel barrows. I told him, we did not need the hogs that bad & lets go turn them loose. Bottum line, it took us until 4:00 pm to get the hogs out. When we got back to the boat I took a another reading. Same place. We waited until dark, around 5;30 & decided to leave them & come hunt the next morning.
  we came back the next morning with some buddies & Jimmy wanted to go ck. a sandbar that this fisherman had told him he saw some hogs on. Russel(his brother) & a couple of others & I went to where we had put the dogs out the day before, expecting them to be there but they were not. Took a reading, same place.
  Went & rounded up Jimmy & the others & picked the closest point in & started hunting our way to them. About halfway there we caught two sows around 120# $ 2 lil pigs. I thought I heard dogs barking & we got the others shut up & sure enough, we could hear them bayed. We started to them & went in & caught about a 175# sow. They must have chewed her ears off early & then could not hold her, but where her ears had been was already scabbed over. It was 11:00 am, 25 hours after they had left on that sow.
 You would have thought they would be exhausted but on the way out, we got into a herd that was rattling so loud, wwe could not hardly hear the dogs bayed. I dont know how many we caught, cause Todd & I were just turning them loose as fast as the dogs were catching them. We broght out at least 8 hogs in the 100-150# range & turned loose at least that many. Took us all day to get them out.

Cajun, ^ that Sir is awesome!

[Cajun]

Thank you Justin. I have had plotts stay on bear that long but it was either running, bayed or treed & all combined. By there selves, I have had dogs stay bayed 5 or 6 hours before I have got to them.
