It is my opinion, right are wrong that hogs become condition to being hunted. They know the differance between hunting dogs and the border collies we use to work cattle. You go out with an atv and a bunch of cur dogs and that hog will break and run before you get within five hundred yards of them.  I have gone out dozens of times to move cattle on horseback and the hogs just stand there with the cattle. Several times I have pened cattle and the hogs go right along with them into the pens. I have moved cattle from one pasture to another with five border collies and half a dozen large pigs stay right with the herd of cattle. we have several spring fed creeks that at anytime if you ride up on them,there will be 8 to 12 hogs, layed out in the water and mud. They don't run they will for the most part just wander around the horse.
