It all depends on the situation, when I used to have a CD back a few years ago i'd turn him in from up close if we had a good solid bay, but if it kept breaking on us then i'd turn him out from however far we needed to get it shut down.



and i want to know bout the hat trick, is it all in the wrist or what?

Sneak up behind the hog when the dogs are bayed, throw a hat in front of him. They will usually try and bite the hat, when they step forward, grab some tail and hang on! But, this little move will backfire on you eventually and get your ass hog caught! Make sure there is a tree handy to climb lol. I've also done this when they are bayed up underneath a blowed over tree to get them to come out where you can get a rope on 'em.

Sometimes, when you don't have a CD there is nothing you can do if they are bayed in the wrong spot. I've sat up in a oak tree for an hour trying to talk the dogs into catching a boar hog in a clump of small cabbage trees, nothing I could do about it except listen to the music and go back to catch him another day.
