Well I locked in the poll folks.
After reviewing results and post it seems to me that most hogs hunter get burned in the real thick nasty stuff in general including mature agg crops.
The only surprise for me was the percentage that voted for Pasture land - mostly open country. Kinda blows my theory out of the water with that country and has reinforced my opinion in other areas about runners.
I guess they are out there but I have never seen them. Quick as they are I have never seen a hog flat outrun a dog in open country. Catch dogs not included.

Maybe its as simple as just never having the opportunity on the right hog but Im not convinced of that yet.
Thanks for the participation and the input!
