This boar hog is running and the dogs are in close pursuit.
Wild hogs are surprisingly athletic, and can crash through the heaviest brush
and vines like a tank. It's one of the ways they can shake the dogs.

The bay dog's first job is to find the hog. Sometimes the hunters see
the hog and set the dogs on him, or the dogs locate the hog's track by smell.
They then follow the trail.
When our dogs trail they usually do some barking. This tells us where the
chase is going. Other styles of hunting require that the dogs be quiet.

| The dogs are tight on the hog, and it looks like he just got nipped on his behind because he's tucked under.
