Sounds like we got the same problem I live in se mo and
Didnt start catching any hogs until I
Tried a wb bmc. I caught a few with him that were Russian looking
And big and miles from where we started
As my dog got older and more confident he started gettin catchy
And that was the end of him . Now I'm back to square one so if u find something that works for u
Let me know what it is
What me and my buddy have come up with is this;
I know this goes against the grain....
We are going to hunt hogs in Ohio like you bear hunt with plotts. These hogs break bay. I will have 4 or 5 plotts that hunt down that hog and stop it and if they kill it.... so what. If they bay it good. This southern Ohio hill country is rough. A great hog man Tom Franklin came here and our dogs bayed out about 275 yards and after an hour we only gained a 100 yards climbing hills and and crawling on our hands and knees thru briars and bush trying to keep a catch dog on a leash and someone started shooting and the dogs broke bay. The plott family in the early 1900"s caught 47 pure russian boar in 1912 that has got loose from a game ranch in North Carolina with plotts and no catch dog.
I know this is not the traditional bay and send in the catch dog but that doesnt work real good here. You need a hound and a bunch of them. If this dont work we will try something else.
