LT I am not being a smart-ass!! I think a lot of people on these sites have not had the pleasure of watching a good dog do what he can do and think that dogs that find hogs and quit after a hour long race are good. I have stated countless times that no matter if a quitter fits your style better or not i does NOT make him good just because you hunt small places or walk hunt!
A good bay dog shouldn't need 6 hrs or 6 miles to "stop" a hog, hound or cur
That goes for bear dogs as well, at least thats what these East Tennessee mountain, plott runnin boys have showed me. They call it "treed" up here, and that is not just standing at the bottom of a tree barking, but being rough enough to "make" one climb.
