What's your view on fear/respect of catching hogs

There are still other things that should be considered when catching hogs.

1) Even the best catch dog will meet his match one day! Seen it happen way too many times. Turn out two catch dogs to a bay get there and the bay dogs are still baying with no catch dogs in the mix. That's why they are soldiers.

2) I think that too many of us go in way to fast to a bay ( hunting without catch dogs) I think it's important to sneak in down wind at all cost. I myself and I know it sounds nutty, but I have bayed up hogs that have slipped out of a bay. I would walk up and catch one trying to slip out and I would start to simulate a bark and the hog would try backing up to some brush. Even walking into a bay some dogs get uneasy when you walk up with a gun, with a quick bark or two the jump back into the mix to keep em bayed up.

3) I don't fear hogs but I surely have learned over the years I better respect them!!! When they want to run, they will run!! When they want to stand and fight they will do that too!!!

Had too many people in my life tell me their dogs will catch any size hog and crawled into a bay and get flipped or knocked down even run over!!! I trust more in catch dogs catching, bay dogs bayin and strike dogs striking!!!!
