Kevin, I hunted for years in this one place where hogs are known to run & with one catahoula out & I would lead a bulldog in for catching. I was talking to a guy & He told me if I could put his plotts on a hot track, his dogs would bay it or catch it. I said come on down & we ran hogs for 2 days straight without so much as a bay. Now I have plotts & I have caught them in this area with plots but I caught a lot more with one dog out & a lead in catchdog.
I have hunted a lot the way Taz hunts & have had curs like his that were gritty. Put one by himself & he would go & bay in a thicket but in the open he would catch. If he bayed I would get to him & turn this other cur loose. Not many hogs got away.
I like to hear a race & bear hunt so I run plotts now. Personal choice. Of course most of my plotts are on the catchy side & if a hog hangs around for more then a second, they normally catch him pretty quick. It seems like a lot of the problem is in running hogs is to many dogs on the ground & hog knows he is safer running.
Well said Cajun!!! I had to read that twice to make sure I didn't make that post!!! lol
