Dang gin I like your comment. Me and a buddy caught 5 today so we atleast had to loose what 10 to 12 right
My pack of dogs is 2 non gritty curs,one gritty plott and a bulldog and 90% of the hogs are caught by one cur and a bulldog. Won't many hogs walk or run from one loose baying dogNot knocking your ways of hunting but it's hard to stop hogs around here with a pack of rough dogs. The guys that used to be 100% baydogs are getting scarce. South Georgia is awesome, We got on hogs everywhere we turned out but they're not many here and they won't hang around to be bayed much.

I hope I am not changing the subject much but I have sold and gave away many puppies to hog hunters. They were walkers and leopards and crosses between them . The only "hog" hunt I've been on was to get a couple of pigs out of a former fox pen that a boy was starting hog pups in and I don't know anything about the legalities of that. But there was one last pig they could not get run down. I went to try to help them drive it into a corner and into a small pen. I had a three legged brown dog missing a front leg all the way up to the shoulder. I called tripod that would twig and jump deer right at me and a feist that was fast as a bullet and had treed a hundred squirrels but had never opened her mouth on a tree . We finally jumped that 50 pound pig in a top in that bushy/viney - pen - hole and within two hundred feet they each had an ear and that pig was caught. Now neither dog had ever seen a pig in its life. How in the world do some dogs just automatically know where to grab and what to do?
Dogs are predators, it's in there blood. Most any dog will grab around the head. Unless it a pack situation and the head space is already takin up then they will grab anywhere.
Just like lions on a Cape buffalo. It's impressive.
