The only open places we have is roads and the occasional shooting lanes so we never find them in the open unless they run across a road
Would be hard for you to see first hand what point I've been making but haven't had anyone grasp a hold of yet. But I know you have read the stories on here where dogs have struck pigs in the open and couldn't get them shut down till they got to the brush. It is why this happens with such overwhelming frequency (starting a pig in the open and not being able to get it stopped till it gets to the brush) was the root point I was trying to discuss and talk about. To really get good legit discussion about why this is and to get people on the right track in how to discuss this, it needs to be done from a holistic standpoint in order to identify that it's the pigs that enable this to happen the way it does, not so much the dogs. If it was the dogs, it would be done in the open when the dogs had the upper hand.
