That ain't thick, I can still wade through it ok haha... there's much, much thicker stuff we hunt in, and vests hang up BAD... I hate a damn vest for that... but, the way I figure it... a hog breakin' is better than a caught hog at the cost of a dead dog... I been movin' for a while towards a style that is as aggressive as possible, yet still yields minimal injuries... Gritty, yet non head-catching cur dogs... and a catch dog that can handle a bad one by hisself....
... vesting dogs(I currently use a cut down Devastator from Uglydog) inevitably slows down the dog in heavy cover. If the hog breaks, so be it... just another chance for the BAY dogs to work... not the catch dog's job to make a hog sit down...
...since I been working dogs like this, I've had much less injury to all dogs... and I like that.
Some guys over here run CD's with no cut gear whatsoever and rarely lose a dog... lots of factors involved however... to each his own... I may even change my mind someday and do the same lol...
Nice Job Noah........I like that inicorn. Was leading so good in the first video I was wondering if he was gonna do anything when you unsnapped him. lol
Waylon
Thanks Waylon... you'd never know I knocked his ass clean out a few minutes before with a lighter knot haha... big dogs take a lot of "trainin' on" ta make them walk the line like that... Seems the older ol' Bucho gets, the more "pit" is coming out in him... have had to train on him perty hard lately, but he understands and learns from it. When I say his name, he better tone EVERYTHING out, LOOK at me, and LISTEN.... if not... BAAAAD chit about to happen
... now that I consider him an "experienced" CD... I'm fixin' ta train his big ass to the next level... turn loose and back off on command... no hands
