HELP! Can't stop all the dang running!

[Mike]

Plus, a lot of pine thickets are hundreds or thousands of acres... of solid hell.

But, I'll agree on using 1 dog that knows how to bay a hog is the best answer on runners in my opinion. Other than that, you gotta run the air out of them... send fresh dogs after ones ran a few hours and it will usually get bayed pretty quick.

Maybe one day God willing I well get to hunt them pines y'all speak of

Like mentioned, try working one dog at a time. Or perhaps one finished dog you can trust and a pup.
I ran into the same problem, I had a bay buster in my group... After a good whopping by a good boar, she learned to back up and bay.. It drove me nuts for the longest time, until finally I dropped dogs one at a time.. You can check dogs off your list one at a time this way.. You can also learn how independent your dogs are... I hate dogs that depend on other dogs to get gone.. Useless in my opinion..

One of the techniques I'm gonna try is getting my hands on a good boar if I can't catch one pretty soon and send them to bay school on top of dropping just one at a time and the other tips and tricks you guys have mentioned. Figure if I can teach them to bay a little better with a good hog and not a easily overpowered one it can't do anything but help. Heard from one of the old timers around here if you want to catch good hogs train with good hogs you want to catch sows an babies then train with them, he alway had one bad sob in his baypen...

Hey judge how many dogs you usually have on the ground when your hunting?

Usely 3 dogs and a rough dog in the box with a cd. I use the same tactics if I am running loose or land sharks. I alway run a dog that will mostly bay with rough dogs just works good for me. To many dogs on the ground and usely you will catch the smaller pigs if your in a group of pigs

I always hear guys say it's hard to catch in those planted pines what makes it so hard vs thick briars yopoons black lokus blood weed cane and so on. Hogs run hard every where I never hunted in pine rows maybe I am missing something

We hunt in rowed pines quite a bit and do pretty decent considering but I will say this, I'd rather have to run through a youpon or tallow thicket with briars here and there than in a dang saplin pine plantation, those young rowed pines SUCK. they are literally eat up with briars from one end to another plus you have to deal with the troughs between every row, usually full of soupy slippery mud and snakes paired with green briars hanging off durn near every tree lol. THey just suck all around. If you have ever watched a hog barrel through woods like that (im sure you have, just speakin in general) itll amaze you that any dog bigger than a jack russell or jagd can keep up, our curr dogs come out of those plantations lookin like they been battlin with a herd of  coons  . I couldnt image runnin full speed through that nonsense with my nose and eyes leadin the way   

[justincorbell]

and to add to that judge, im not sayin for a minute that the hogs run harder in the rowed pines that other places they just seem to stack the odds more in their favor when they go blastin through that stuff. in all of our big woods the briars are lifted I guess you would say, more room to run underneath em for a dog as opposed to the briars being dang near on the ground in the rowed pines. Just my take on it.

Come on over to northeast LA and hunt with me sometime Judge. All we mainly hunt are pines, so i dont have anything else to judge it on. I do feel like ive been in places the devil himself created while hog hunting though.

[Judge peel]

Hog snatcher I dont know about now but a few yrs back you had some jam up hunting around you I hunted with a guy in cotton valley a good bit had some good days over there haven't been since my buddy got out of the lease he was in though

[Hogsnatchers]

Who'd you hunt with up this way, there are a good number of hogs and some good ones in the area for sure but also alot of us hunting them we all try and steer clear of each others spots and be respectful as a whole lot of good hunting turkey season had a big damper on the spots I can run now and the last few places we been hitting have hogs but dang they are starting to turn into some track stars. Ive gotten very accustomed to catching dang near every hunt and that's just not happening lately. Usually expecting multiple hogs and getting lucky to shut down one so it's definitely getting to me

Its been 5or6 yrs I had a friend from around Monroe that was in a lease i dont know the name of lease but it is on east side of the main hwy coming through cotton valley is all I really know there was a lot of wells we drilled on the same lease for xto i like hunting around there cause like u said it was almost a forsure thing to catch one if not multiple hogs we usually relocated most hogs to my part of country im bout 30 miles other side of monroe but I spent about 2yrs in cv drilling for precision in that time I hunted that area pretty often with my buddy and only met one other guy that dogged I think his name was Shane he lived there in CV hope you can put the brakes on them suckers good luck man maybe they'll forget to lace them nikes up next time or through a couple Ole hardnose cur dogs in there that has helped around my area on those track stars

[Hogsnatchers]

Yea there are some good spots in Cotton Valley, I think Shane has gotten out last I heard he used to have some good dogs from what I've heard never got to make a run with him but my cousin was with him when his jeep dog got killed on the wma a couple years ago. I've got one spot to hunt down that way and the guy calls when they're in there and that's been a while.
