Ponder

way back when my brother was hog hunting with me we built a nice training pen and it was all grown up with weeds in between trainings...we had some mt cur pups about 10 weeks old and we got a hold of about 3 striped shoats...the striped ones have more of the European traits...these shoats bayed up a couple times and they learned real quick to run...you could see the weeds just moving as they ran silently and keep running until they hit the other end...when the pups trailed them up they ran back to the other side...they pups were getting some trailing experience but not much baying time...we were given 3 or 4 spotted shoats and one was solid black...these pigs got hammered pretty quick...they wanted to stop and fight and they got stretched out pretty quick...they never ran far and they grunted quite a bit...we really can't use this as data because good data comes from more than just these sets of pigs...the more data the more accurate it becomes...but that was an observation tht says a lot to me about wild hogs...that is why I say the hogs that get away live to breed another day...the ones that stop and fight eventually get caught...dogging hogs in my opinion speeds up the evolution process when it comes to wild hogs...
