Have 50 dollar minimum for four hours for up to 4 dogs and 10 dollars each additional fog. Keep hogs in a separate holding pen for hunters to hunt and leave two or three rank sows for the dogs to work in the pen. If you load the pen up with hogs. It makes it useless for older dogs to get tuned up and can confuse them and puppies. Also hogs, no matter how many, will wise up and make it tough for the hunter to get one. Just ask he or she what they are after and put it in loading chute after they are on stand and turn it loose. It will be moving around there looking for a way out and they will get a shot on what they want most likely. I have learned this all the hard way and watched two friends doc the same thing and I told them how to do it, but they didn't listen at first. Now they are set up the way I just described. Letting young dogs bay a hog in the loading chute, then turning it out  from the chute and putting young dogs on a fresh track is great practice too if a customer would like to work their dog and kill a meat hog to boost the young dogs confidence. Also, it is nice to have a bay pen at the other side of holding pen for folks to practice. I like to get pups stirred up in it and turn hog and pups out into an acre sized alley way that connects to the big pen. Then open it up and let them hit the 70 acre or 320 acre pen and stretch out!!!
