 Its hard to beat the feeling and the pride I have in my dogs when they put an end to one of these marathon runners! I use to think they were only smaller or average size hogs that ran like this but they come in all shapes and sizes. That boar I ran yesterday was a giant. He was packing a little Ivory also. Thats usually the kind of hog to make a stand and hardly run at all from what I have seen in the past.
 
Last year we jumped and ran a extremely piggy sow that weighed in around the 250 pound mark. She ran in a straight line from us stopping 2.57 miles away. We were on our way but she only bayed for about 5 minutes. The Garmin showed the dogs cumming straight back up the trail they had just chased the hog down. I knew that old dog of my sons wouldnt quit so we stopped and waited. She got stopped for good about the time she got back to us. Over a 5 mile round trip! She was just about ready to through that litter of pigs and she was so fat I wonderd if her belly didnt drag the ground. Even that didnt keep her from running 5 mile almost non stop.
