I don't get to hunt much anymore if I had to say I guess I hunt now about 2-3 times a month I have a large pen that I tune them up in now and then.
I think for 2015 I have caught about 18-20 since February because we eat them and cant carry out alive we get one and that's it hunts over we clean it and make sausage.
If I could tie them up and keep hunting we would catch more but I don't catch them to just to kill them and leave them we use all the meat and that's how its been all my days.
I got a couple dogs that's good enough in my eyes where I hunt we cast where hogs are known to be and usually we get one sometimes 2 most the guys I hunt with don't have dogs and work for food lol.
Don't know what I would do with 100-200 hogs for sure I would have none left for seed but I think if I hunted 2-3 times a week I could catch a decent number but my spots would dry up.
I wouldn't want to walk behind my dogs I lose signal on them often no way I could keep up with them on foot. I started off with walk dogs 10 years ago in Louisiana and I caught hogs walking the creeks in Caldwell Parish there were quite a few hogs there then. I moved to AR and those dogs couldn't produce for me here because the hogs were spread out and few I would still have to ride a lot and walk a lot to find them. I started getting pups out of longer ranged dogs and have what I like today they usually will make a 300-400 yard loop check in if I don't move they go further and further 1/2 mile is normal and they some times get bayed a lot further than that. When they was pups I hunted them a lot but now I don't feel the need to they know what's up. I say just because a man isn't catching 200 a year don't mean he doesn't have good dogs and if you hunt small blocks with lots of hogs you can do well with short range dogs walking.
