Does Clay ever open up? Also, how do you hunt him? Do you drop him on sign, rig him, or just put him on the ground and let him hunt out on his own?
Clay is totaly silent as a matter of fact after watching him several times in the open I have found he wont even bark at a hog unless he is face to face with it, if it turns away from him he will stop barking until he moves back around in front of it. We have been hunting alot on 4 wheelers lately and clay will run out in front of the 4 wheeler about 150 to 200 yds with the other dogs, when we are hunting like that but if it is a place where we are walking I just cast him from the truck and usualy dont see him anymore till we take the catch dog to him. He will stay bayed till I get there to, 4 or 5 hrs it dont matter. I have never rode him on a wheeler or in a truck so I dont know what he would do. we dont hunt like that. He is a dog you dont have to put in sign just be sure you have a full tank of gas cause he is gonna go find one.
