In a perfect hunting situation like a wide open field where a fast dog could stretch his legs and use his speed I would agree with you a dog could put a lot of pressure on a hog. But in thick woods it's a whole new ballgame, the hog has all the advantage and can stay ahead of a dog for as long as he chooses to in my opinion.. Think about it like this if you were chasing someone of equal speed through the woods and they knew exactly where they were goin and you didn't and they had been all through those woods no telling how many times and they never had slow down to try and look for you, all they had to do was keep running with their head up and lookin straight ahead, do you think you could "shut them down".
Not too hard to figure out I don't think.
