86, if your dogs won't stick with one over two miles, I'm afraid you training a dog for me is out if the question. Two miles around here, they're barely getting limbered up... both dogs and hog.
J5, I've had quite a few races that long and was 100% sure it was the same hog that was started. It was seen several times along the way. Sometimes we bay the hog, a lot of times I'll have to cut the dogs off for various reasons and sometimes get flat out smoked. But I expect my dogs to give it their best.
I guess a lot of folks don't realize a hog can run that far... or dogs will stick with one that long.
Here's a small part of race that Jesse Paul and I ran from 11 at night till around 9 the next morning not too long ago...
