With several hunters and 6 dogs +- the entire event (shooting not finding) only lasts about 2-3 mins max. Tree stays were short ( 1-2 mins). You are just trying to avoid the attack by getting 6 feet or so off the ground. Small trees that are easy to shinny up quickly. Pigs did not stay under the tree long (10 seconds)with the dogs and other hunters still active.

Idea was to shoot the big pigs first and hope they all dropped. There was never a shortage of ammo � motto be prepared. Handguns were for shooting down on pigs if needed.
