ok i'm going to put it this way my dogs are used to having to hunt open country and cover a place weither it be 100 acers or 500 acers in no time makeing it seem like it's eaisy. i regularly travel out of state to hunt hogs and do so year round. i've had eaiser days hunting in the swamps of ga than some days i've spent guiding hunts at tn extreme. the hog you killed had been in there for quiet some time the pics i posted were taken in the spring. when was it you were there? when i guide hunts i make ita point to talk to the hunters and treat them like good friends. on pse's hunt i was there soley for the purpose of handling dogs which ended up being a job in it's self to the point i would not have wanted to have been having to watch hunters and try to handle dogs even though i could have done it and have several times at different lodges and outfitting services all over the southeast. you must have been there at one of those times when they were gettin low on hogs hogs are usually in there for a fairly long amount of time dependin on how much of a hiding place they can find or push another hog out of. the hog you killed was the smallest hog i've ever seen in there most hogs there are between 150 and 200 with an average of around 165. i do not do the ram hunts i'm a hog hunter only hell i don't even like doin spot and stalk hog hunts. i've killed well over 100hogs in my life and all of them had dogs on them. so i can't put an opnion on the ram hunts. i've had hunts in the wild where we droped the tailgate and had hogs caught in actual minutes of them hitting the ground. sorry you had a bad experence. but hogs will come get ya i've had several frinends get cut really bad by hogs and have had several close calls myself. they are a dangerous ainimal and not to be taken lightly.
