Interpretation.

I agree 110%.

If I am having to do all the work....kinda defeats the purpose of having a Hunting Dog. Lol

But also I recognize and respect other views on here mainly due to terrain differences I believe.
I am not what you call a traveling hog hunter to speak of. The majority of my hog hunting experiences have all been knee deep in these piney wood thickets. I have dabbled a bit in more open county such as Oklahoma and a lil west of here. The main difference I noticed in the dogs was a dramatic INCREASE in range on the more open country. Which make since theoretically. But also I feel that this would probably hold true in the reversed aspect. And some of the known long range dogs that have been categorized as such in open county.....would possibly be classified as med to close range in rougher country.

This is just a thought looking out of a closed glass bottle. Others that have covered vast more hunting areas might be able to shed a more enlightened personal experience.
