Jared H you are right on. 

Do people not think hogs don't hear us crashing through the woods no matter how quite we're trying to be?  How many times have you caught a hog just a few hundred yards from the truck?  Those hogs heard us pull in the gate, slamming doors, leashes jingling, etc...... I think people forget how good of a sense of smell a hog has as well.  Depending on conditions, they'll smell our dogs long before we strike them. I can understand why someone would not want to hunt a fully open dog - that's personal preference but what I cannot comprehend is when someone gets rid of a good dog just because it yips after a hog breaks.  Who cares? That hog has already been bayed and barked at so do you think he is going to stop running just because the dogs shut up?  Hell no, the chase is on and he's trying to blow out of the country.
