One of the hardest hunts in a long time! And lesson learned!

What a hunt Ryan,....glad y'all got one though......and I'm really glad to hear that you learned something from all this....good for you bud. I know that a lot of folks on here really like dogs that will stay with it for that long,.....I used to be one of them I'll admit, but not anymore. It seems that all that ever comes from a race that long is worn out dogs, hurt dogs, lost dogs, lost sleep and a tired hunter......rarely ever ends with a dead or caught hog.
Glad y'all got the dogs back without too much trouble. Maybe next time you can get this runner. Since I'm not a night hunter, do you think that the hogs is seeing your lights and breaking? I'm thinking it might be better to hunt him in the daylight......just my opinion though.
