I agree with Oconee and Cajun...the same dogs in a preserve that is thick with vegetation and a good pack of dogs will get outran...the same hogs move over to the next ranch that runs cattle on it and the briars are minimal...the same dogs might catch 5 or 6 hogs in a short period of time...

but like already mentioned...one must evaluate all the conditions as to why the dogs got outran...sometimes it is the thick terrain, sometimes it is the heat and the dogs are out of condition...the dogs have already hunted hard and are running low on fuel...
I have seen a dog smart hog that when the dogs struck him the hog would make a quarter mile circle at a very fast pace and then he would cross the pipeline about a mile further down and he was way out in front of the dogs and he would be moving very fast...then after a little while the dogs would be crossing the pipeline way behind this hog...this hog would be running at a very fast pace...quite a bit faster than what the dogs were trailing...he is about a 175 pound hog and is very dog smart...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
