These hogs around my area are pretty bad about running 500-600 yards before baying up. Worse part is having to walk that far when I cant drive straight up to the bay.

Seriously...that is about the norm for me. I dont know if my dogs do a good job, it is my places or both.....but I have only one place where hogs really run. Even then we almost always get them shut down....using 20 lb dogs.
