If the sounder will stay bayed and just move a little ways away each time you catch one and allow you to catch several hogs then I think it's very good for the dogs. That's the easiest way for young dogs to learn to roll out after the catch dogs hit. The CD's hit and the older dogs move with the sounder 50-100 yards away, the pups see the dogs leave on the hogs and can still see and hear them so they go to them instead of hanging around the caught hog. But very few sounders bay up for very long anymore so I will have to agree that it is usually a pain in the butt. Especially if there is 3 or 4 independent real deal strike dogs on the ground and each one leaves on a different hog. It's not so bad during cool weather but it sucks during the summer. Either way I still don't like getting on sows and pigs. I would rather hunt all day long and catch one good boar or barr that catch 10 sows !
