I'm needing some advise on how to run some dogs on a place I work by. The place is a couple hundred acres and on one side is houses on the other is a military base and running smack dab in the middle is a public road I have hunted here before and got on the pigs but couldn't get one to stop. There is a creek and three stock tanks and a lot of thick brush and briars all over this place as well. So my question is what's the best dog for this? It woild be walk hunting mostly so do I need a short range rough dog or do I use a loose baying dog? I am still fairly New to this and have learned a lot from this site already so any advise helps and is appreciated.

Short range loose baying bay dog with a RCD. The only way I would hunt it. If I put another dog on the ground it would be another RCD. I want the bay dog to keep baying and not help catch. I want that hog caught fast so I am not on land I should not be. With roads around I get nervous if they are well traveled because I worry about cars more than hogs hurting my dogs. With a short range bay dog you can either walk the RCD's or just walk one. I like to keep one well rested but can be turned out as soon as the chase is on. If you have the Garmins I would put collars on them all. Just how I would do it.

The road is traveled a lot during the day but at night not so much and the creek goes under the road and that's how the hogs travel from one side to the other. I really appreciate your advise

Doesn't sound like a very good place to hunt

I have a plot like that that I use to hunt. I ran one strike that would bay normal but would put teeth on one that would go to turn away. Also depends on what you thinks there. The place I had I scouted out a few times before I went. Mainly saw just big looking boar or sow tracks. I went out there and got on a good 200 lb boar that just wanted to stay back and fight. 2nd time a 120 lb sow that ran so I just cut my RCD loose. If you see smaller tracks I would turn out two dogs that'll stay back so that it won't make a group run. I had a buddy that turned out rough dogs and he ran a group across a rode and scrared him half to death.

Well we have cameras out and there's between 20-30 hogs we keep seeing that range from 30#-300# we trapped a boar Sunday morning that was close to 200# and 2 yesterday morning that was about 60# I've tried running dogs once during deer season and we couldn't get them stopped

Maybe since you can see the hogs just turn out some CDs and maybe they can shut em down
