Nice character added to the vest. Title: Re: cut vests Post by: Circle C on March 30, 2010, 08:07:41 pm It was actually somewhat of an inside joke about a certain "one out" superdog we all read and heard so much about a couple years ago. There was a photoshopped photo floating around of said dog, with a superman s on his chest. I decided to have Tyson's vest emroidered with the s. At the same time, I also had the reward/phone number patch made. I figured many people are afraid of bulldogs and would not get close enough to read his id tags on his collars, so I made it easy for anyone should he be found lost in the future.

Title: Re: cut vests Post by: Cull Buck on March 31, 2010, 09:07:55 am This may be a stupid question, but has anyone thought about the advantage a catchdog gain from wearing a less bright vest? The way I see it is if a catchdog can get in there relatively un-noticed he has a chance to initiate the contact and catch the hog somewhat off guard. It seems like a bright vest could catch the hogs attention and give him the chance to square up on the catchdog and make things a whole lot more difficult. Just a thought....
BTW, my vests are green allowing for a ninja stealth attack. :laugh: Title: Re: cut vests Post by: Circle C on March 31, 2010, 09:39:05 am Quote It seems like a bright vest could catch the hogs attention and give him the chance to square up on the catchdog and make things a whole lot more difficult. Just a thought.... Cull Buck, I may jinx myself, but Tyson was on all of these pigs wearing his orange vest. He has had staples twice in his life. Once when he was cut just above both eyes running through a barbed wire fence. The other time, he got the skin on his thigh cut, while making a bad catch on a small hog in Oklahoma. He's been on enough hogs with the equipment to do some damage, that I feel confident in both the color of the vest, and the quality as well. ;D (http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/ccoughran/DSC01882-1.jpg) (http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/ccoughran/DSC_0291-1.jpg) (http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/ccoughran/DSC_0687.jpg) (http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/ccoughran/IMGA0066.jpg) (http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/ccoughran/DSC_0106.jpg) (http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/ccoughran/DSC_0265.jpg) (http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/ccoughran/pretransfer018.jpg) Title: Re: cut vests Post by: ChaseG on March 31, 2010, 10:30:53 am i run a neon orange vest. its a triple layer ballistic. and when i got it i was a lil unsure about it. but it has done damn good so far. the out side layer is lookin pretty rough now but a pig has yet to blow a hole all the way through it [knock on wood]. there are spots that it has opened the 2nd layer up but no more than that. but as far as color i dont think it hurts anything
Title: Re: cut vests Post by: wildboarusa on March 31, 2010, 12:32:28 pm Chris --- where did you get that tag with number???? that is a great idea--that and superman patch you can't go wrong. (Wonder if hogs are color blind anyway---reason Im askin is I was repairing a feeder one day and laying on the ground beside it wearing a redshirt making all kindsa racket--the feeder went off and about three hogs ran in within 5 feet of me chowing down---my red truck was right there too--I laid real still watching them--for awhile--ttill one of us got spooked. color did not seem to matter, wind musta been just right and they must not a minded chevys either. thanks JC

I have a local embroidery shop that I use for my caps, etc. I told them what I needed, and they made the patches for me. I then took the patches and vest to a local Upholstery shop and he sewed everything up for me. I spoke with Patsy yesterday, and she is working on a custom vest made for Mandi's dog Tater. It's going to be a little bit different than anything else out there...just like Mandi :o Title: Re: cut vests Post by: uglydog on March 31, 2010, 01:27:12 pm careful Chris, Unique is a much beter word then "DIFFERENT" when describing Mandi.

Dude will be eating toast with butter on it before long if he continues to use that terminology. I'm with Uglydog, chose your words carefully. On a side note, I can't wait to see the new "Unique" vest. Title: Re: cut vests Post by: LINKY LANKY on March 31, 2010, 01:41:27 pm just for my 2 cents a hog is color blind so it can be HOTT pink like the cut collar my wife bought me just cause she thought it would be funny but it dont matter they dont know colors....lol
Title: Re: cut vests Post by: Circle C on March 31, 2010, 01:43:22 pm Different... Unique... Whichever it is, I know I am lucky to have her!
How many of y'all can say that your wife asked for a new cut vest for their catch dog for her birthday? ;D Title: Re: cut vests Post by: Cutter Bay Kennels on March 31, 2010, 02:37:51 pm Different... Unique... Whichever it is, I know I am lucky to have her! How many of y'all can say that your wife asked for a new cut vest for their catch dog for her birthday? ;D She is a keeper for sure. Congrats on getting her to buy into you in the beginning. Mine would never ask for a cut vest much less a dog to hunt with. Title: Re: cut vests Post by: uglydog on March 31, 2010, 08:51:24 pm Thay may be color blind, but the can see shades, light vs. dark colors
However if you dogs approach gracefull like, rather than a bull in a china shop do you think that make a difference rather than color? How about if the vest fits good, where a dog has the oppertunity to be a little gracefull like being able to duck there head and bend in the middle? whee the can navigate brush?
