Cool story Highwater!

NLA, I don’t believe there’s a right or wrong style. Like you say, it’s a preference and everyone has their own. At one time I wanted the exact style you describe in your dogs. As time went on, more and more people started dogging, trapping, thermaling, trying to run over them, lobbing bullets at them anytime they stuck their heads in the open, flying helicopters, etc. and hogs evolved. I came to the conclusion that I needed to evolve with them. I don’t want kamikaze rough but I want enough bite that they turn hogs when they can. I want hard track drivers so that the hog doesn’t get rest and time to recover. Like any specie, fatigue creates bad decisions by the fatigued. I also don’t want to chase a 50-100 pounder for miles. Too much or too little is a fine line and one of the most difficult happy mediums to achieve in my opinion. I totally agree though, too rough leads to no hunting because of injury or feeding a bunch of dogs so that you always have something to hunt.
