Well, I will take a dog that's stays hooked no matter what kind of country I'm hunting and expect them to run a hog to hell and back if they have to. I'm funny like that though.
I will take a 10 pound bass over five 2 pounders also but my plan is always to catch all I can. Same goes for hog hunting with me.
Just because a dog has a ton of bottom doesn't mean it is going to run a hog all over hell and Texas every time he finds one.
In my book, the right kind of dog will put just the right pressure on a hog to keep it bayed no matter how far it has to run him........if he has to run him at all.
I agree...
I like the idea of adding gritt until the hog gets stopped at the first oppurtune time and expect the dogs to stick until it gets done...the sooner the better...that's the goal...
doesn't happen that way all the time but that is the goal
