When Lincoln was ayoung dog he would trash on a hog some and could flat build a fire under one. People that say a hound can't catch a hog quickly, haven't seen one that can drive a track.
I am not an expert on the hounds but I have seen some cold nosed hounds that caught hogs because they were stick to the track no matter what kind of dogs but those dogs might start a track that the curs have no interest in and they open on the cold tracks...Then I have seen a few walkers that were hotter nosed than my mt. curs that kicked up rocks in your face kind of dogs on their way to the woods that hunted hard and could move a track pretty quick...folks accused that mt. cur world champion (Texas Smoke ) of having some walker in his veins, but the Texas Smoke pups made some hard hunting and gritty hog dogs...
