thats when it comes down to quitting or looseing my worst problem spots were ready for harvest wheat fields . there dry dusty and are murder on dogs and i know the dogs quit [dont blame em ] but they would come back in and load up and we would drive around the edges or walk on smaller feilds and they would pick it up and go on . but i know they didn't loose the scent that wheat is hell on their eyes . but none the less at the end of the day as good a dog as they were they quit a track .
That's why it is called hog hunting... :)sometimes we catch em and sometimes not...But it is a good game and we have to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better plan of attack...
My favorite time of the year to dog the hogs is just after deer season when it is cold or cool and all the weeds are dead/down. The dogs don't over heat and they can eventually catch up and stop a running hog. The weeds don't become a problem here until mid to late April.
