I've hunted behind straight catch catahoulas and straight catch mountain curs. Never saw either one bay, just catch. I've been told by others that at some point they would "cur out" and start baying, but I never saw it.
Yes sir Circle C, I have my last years pup out of Rockin P's(Kate) and my dog Nocho that has been baying since he was 5 months. Not now, He is just turned a year old and he hits those big hogs just like a bulldog. He hunts medium and I am trying to get him out of it. All my other dogs if you turn more than two on the ground, you might not even hear a bark!
