No arguements that the safest way to use a cd is to get a visual of the hog, cut the cd from a close range and get the hog off its feet as soon as possible.
BUT...
Weather or not its b/c I am lazy or just stubborn I use my cd like a good tool. I make sure its the best for the job that I can get (athletic etc) take great care of it, but work them hard. Once dogs are bayed I mostly cut loose from about 150-200 yds. Sometimes alot closer and soemtimes alot farther. Typically I have 2 big leggy good winded cd's and we stop alot of hogs that way. Havent lost one in 5 yrs (knock on wood) I would say the dogs are typically caught for 3-4 min on avg and 1 out of every 5 catches 8-10 min. When hunting with certain friends I have no problem walking in close but like a cd that has the diversity to be used multiple ways.
Good topic
