Trail barking!!!!

This is my take on it. We hunt hogs with a animal as a whole that is less in intelligence then the game it's after. The hog knows that the dog barking is in fact after him and if he stops they will encounter each other. A bayed hog has chosen to stop and face his foe. The surrounding hogs know the dogs are on something other then themselves so they stay put. If they run its usely not to far away. I feel that open or silent makes little difference if the dog is high quality. The distance ran is determined by the dogs effort to stop the hog and the hogs determination to get away on a case by case
