X2 on what peach said. IMO snout is bad if you're trying to tie hogs. Have had the bridge of their noses broken and snouts damaged so they would not eat. Not good if you're trying to sell them. Also, catching on the nose leaves a very vulnerable area of your cd exposed if the hog thrusts upward. Jugulars and esophagus.
Some people like it.......I prefer ear.
x2 on the snout. hinted a tourney and a cd got to the hog well before we could get there and the hog broke a couple times and when finally got to the hog, the cd had the hog by the snout and she so busted up on the snout, it was hard to get a snout rope around her, it didn't do much good, other than the pain everytime she flung her head, she calmed down most ricky-tick
sounds like good advice peech, if I get another cd or teachmy catdo to be strait catch, I will definitely try your technique.
