I hunt some fairly smart hogs here in Georgia. They tend to run easily. My main female won't hardly put a tooth on a hog and I lost a lot of hogs because of that. But I learned from this. She is a close range dog so I have found some close range, really gritty/catchy dogs to go with her. If she can keep them bayed for 15 seconds, I have some muscle running loose that stop those runners. If they get there in time, I catch 9 out of 10 hogs. Doing this our main strike dogs rarely get hurt. The stop dogs get hurt of course but that comes with their job. I like to run one main strike dog and several stop dogs so we don't get multiple bays going on which would split the stop dogs up. I just bought a Garmin and plan to use it on our strike dogs so we can better follow them with the catch dogs and any stop dog that may be hanging close to us.
