That seems a stretch. I'd say nobody knew what the heck they were doing. I could post 7 guys with 60 pigs and take turns walking around while I dodged arrows of the others. Second point.... JUST how many pigs do you think those 8 guys would have gotten walking around in the wild. You bust them once and THEY'RE GONE AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE. Our inept hunters knew they were still in the fence. Doesn't take long to figure out where to hunt next. Seems like after 6 or 8 walk-abouts in the fence they'd have figured out a different game plan. I suspect those boys would have had "the hardest hunt they had been on" in a barn.

See there is the exact thought they had.
But what I did not tell them is that the 12 acres is thick with cedar with only very narrow walking tracks that in most cases you have to be crouched over to get through.
