here is my opinion, a good help dog earns his feed. i understand having all great one out dogs that can find and keep a good hog bayed, notice i said good hog? all of my dogs can find their own hog and 2 of my dogs will catch anything under 100lbs, but with that said, when i cast 2 out they usuall split if we r not close to a fresh sign and what happens then is one will usually bay up and the other is out of hearing range, so as we get closer to the hog he hears us and will break. and after that first bay the race is on. now if u send in a catch dog a little bit out u will catch these good hogs but usually end up with wrecked dogs if u get close to the bay to send the catch dog hog breaks now u got a loose catch dog that might run till the hog is stopped again? but the woods i hunt most of the time u crawl through briars or catclaw vines and it sucks, now back to the original point, when a good help dog runs with a good strike/bay dog we almost always catch all the hogs we have bayed and can usually crawl right up to the bay to cut the catch dog loose. i belive the terrain u hunt and the pressure on the hogs u hunt play a big role in all this also. but it works good for me so i like to have a good help dog aROUND
