If it ain't the dogs, then how is going back to catchy dogs gonna make a difference??
I've got one beautiful place to hunt that has Very few hogs on it, I've cuaght about all the easily catchable ones already and I firmly believe there's only 3 hogs left, 2 boars and a big sow. This is judging by me having seen them, studying their tracks and camera footage. These last three are serious hardcore runners and smart old hogs. So far all the hogs I've cuaght out there, EVERY ONE of them have ran at least a bit.
The trick as I've seen it on these, has been speed.
Every hog over 100 pounds that I've cuaght out there has been bayed by "loose dogs" BUT you could hear them sucking wind and panting like dogs before you even got to the bay. One big sow with cutters I posted on here a while back actually was so winded, that its stomach and chest were shaking with every breath and she sounded like she was about to stroke out before I decided to stick her.
I believe the key to stopping runners lies in the legs, heart and brain rather than the jaws.
I know I don't need to tell you any of this (texashogdogs) but for the young folks who decide they wanna " breed their own "line"" of gritty hog mualers,
they need to remember, IF THE DOG CAN'T CATCH UP TO THE HOG, IT AIN'T GONNA CATCH THE HOG.
