silent or open?????

If you where just running a semi open dog with just pups that may work, But with that said if there where other dogs in the pack may pull them off of what they where on. JMO most open or semi open dogs are of the the hound class and move a track some what slower than just a plain cur. Exept for the running type hounds that yote and cat people use.As far as sneaking up on hogs I have jump beded hogs and feeding hogs if they are going to run that is just what they are going to do if they are going to stay put that is what they are going to do.
