Truthfully that was another angle being pondered by hair roots.
My interests have always been the dog not necessarily the art of hog hunting.
Don't get me wrong.....love a good successful hunt always. But if one or all of your dogs perform exceedingly well..............tons more gratification at the end of the hunt no matter the quarry.
A very enlightening test that I believe sets the lines between good dogs and great dogs is simply ........
What are they doing in absolutely NO SIGN.
A pissed off pack of ball grabbing poodles with cement in their nostrils can put pork on the ground if walked right into the middle of a hog hotel. But what if its one single boar that drifted through a thousand acre plot an hour ago ...and is currently a mile and a half from you still ranging and feeding.
The short range dogs with limited bottom ensures you will only catch one dimension of hog.
Longer range endless bottom......perty much covers em all. BUT YES I AGREE.....THEY GET FRUSTRATING .......But exceptionally more gratifying in the end. Jmo of course
