Appreciate the responses and sharing your experiences fellas. After tippin my cap to the hogs a few times lately, I needed to reassess my approach. Truth is these hogs have found an advantage and are using it effectively to beat us and survive. My catch rate increases significantly when I run 2 bay dogs and 2 catch dogs. It goes up even more when I have a third bay dog and an extra hunting partner to manage the other catch dog and attack a bay from opposite sides. I walk hunt alone most of the time and ain’t getting any younger. I was hoping to just hunt 1 bay & 1 catch to make it easier & a little more enjoyable. Gotta face reality.....it ain’t gonna work consistently where I hunt with the dogs I’m hunting.

On the bright side, it’s been fun to watch the bay dog mature and evolve into a nice dog that can get hogs bayed alone or in company. Pic of him on a good result below.
