I think that ALL of us posting are hard headed and are going to do what we want to. Opinions are great just dont try to push yours on someone else. Its a discussion not a trial to see who is right and who is wrong. I do think that most people that you hear talk down on open mouth dogs on here or elsewhere have never hunted with a GOOD open mouth dog. They are speculating......but i guess I am to by making this statement.

Randy, i think we all know that you are speculating, especially if you are talking about any of YOUR dogs!
You would have to come hunt with me before you can say you hunted with a GOOD dog!

( Just Kidding!! I know my dogs are FAR from being what i would call GOOD dogs
