Hounds- The original hunting dog!

I never said hounds were never used to BAY,and yes if hounds were silent on track i believe in ,my own heart they would be the superior hog dog. As a matter of fact the best strike dog i had was a silent walker hound......the trouble is finding one that is and wont push hogs like jim says,but to contradict myself,i also believe if the dog is open yet has enough bottom he will get the job done anyways. These few and far between oklahoma hogs are the reason im trying my hound pup,hell im even thinking of another one too if i have the room,its time to change somethin around here,the curs are just not ranging enough to get it done. I apoligize to the yellow dog gods for my blasphemy but i need to catch some pork!!
