With all these running hogs maybe things will kinda go back to how alot of old timers hunted, when they ran wolf dogs. There is a guy I stop in an talk to every now and then, I reckon he is around 86 yrs young. I always enjoy sitting around and listening to stories he tells. At one time, he claims that he took care of almost 50 dogs. July hounds, running walkers etc... He's told me before that it wasnt unusual to run a wolf or yote all day long or night. They would sit at the road, build a fire and drink coffee and shoot the breeze, untill the dogs got it bayed or caught and killed. If it sounded like the dogs were getting tired, they would just turn fresh ones out and they would resume the track.
