its not much to catching a hog that dont run further than 100yards anyway, even if its 300lbs or 40lbs it takes little dog work to accomplish that with whatever kind of dogs it would be like riding around fields turnign bulldog loose off the truck and catching hogs and running up there ande sticking it, im into the hunting cause i like dogs with lots of bottom whether they be currs hounds rough or loose, if they cant trail it and run it and stick with it for a few hours i dont want to catch it. if i knew what would make hogs run further i would do that everytime i went to the woods. some people are happy catching a little hog real quick and sticking it with a knife but if thats all i was going to do i would go sit over a corn pile and shoot one with a gun or something.
Could have not said it any better than that! I can't can't count the times I've just walked in and broke a bay just to get some dog work, has nothing to do with just catching a hog for me.
