I have seen this many times. I think the hogs know that the people are the real business end of the deal and once they have the presence of people, they ain't gonna stop running unless they have no other choice. Majprity of the time, I only catch hogs that I see before I cut the dogs is when I only cut the cd by themselves. The hogs usually are right inside the woods and wait to see what happens. A dog comes in and barks and the race is on. A dog goes in and catches, that hog better hope he can drag that dog faster than I can run through the woods.

Actually had this happen on a guided hunt two weeks ago. Luckily, cut cur dogs first an they got on a big sow who was trying to protect her shoats and deuce caught a boar on the edge of a field right by the creek. Cur dogs were cut first and the sow and shoats ran to the creek and she turned to fight tryin to back them off the shoats. The boar ran and deuce hammered him right in the edge of the woods. Can't beat a good leggy cd in a situation like that.

Also lost a good boar in a tournament about a month ago that I should have sent the cd on in the field, ended up losing him with some really good cur dogs on the ground.
