I read more and more stories of people turning their catch dogs loose from 50+ yards, 100+ yards etc, 200 yards, etc.. And more often then not, when a CD is killed on this site by a hog, it's usually been turned loose from a good distance away. Not always, there are exceptions to everything but in general.
1.) My question is how many people actually know what there dogs are bayed in before they turn loose??? It seems more and mre ppl just cut their CD loose as soon as they hear a bay.
Very Good post TShelly. I am curious to hear the answers after listening to so many make complaints about vest getting cut through, I ask myself that same thing. "turning loose" at a few barks and not even knowing if they got a bay, wondering if some know the difference between a bay and barking dogs.
True, very true! I like to have two CD's with us even if we only use one. I like to be as close as possible sometimes that distance is 20' and sometimes that distance is 20-30 yards. Where I have been caught in a bind is when a hog breaks and runs when my CD is between me and hog. Common sense tells me that if my dog is getting wrecked when the hog breaks and runs a few hundred yards because of the time it takes me to get to him that I ought not intentionally let him go from that kind of distance.
