Bay dogs vs. catchy dogs

Most of our dogs are catchy,but we also run a few straight bay dogs.A catchy dog is great on smaller hogs,but they usually
get cut by the bigger ones.We wont run our dogs w/o the bay dogs because a catchy dog is pretty hard to hear with
the hogs ear in his mouth. The dogs that catch also burn alot of energy fightin the hogs. We started out shootin the hogs we caught,but its alot more fun to stick em.We usually let
some newby to the sport stick em now,but then they get the addiction and you end up with a crowd of buddys wantin
to go every time out. State law here in Mo. requires us to kill everything we catch,one of these days they'll realize that
total extermination of the hogs isnt gonna happen.

It is awesome to see dogs just stand back and bay though.
