Open Dogs Cant Catch Hogs!

[Yeller]

A good, fast dog that runs to catch will catch hogs even if he had blue lights and a siren.

And that's the Gospel !!

Good Story Tony.......It can be a pain in the arse when they get old an slow and hogs wont bay for chit.  I was just about ready to cull my old brindle gyp last week.  I put 12 miles on her that morning but didn't get any bayed.  The way she was hunting she must have been mistaken and thought she was a dang hound.  I thought she lost he mind was a blabber mouth the whole day, would not check in, or even come in.  I treid to called her in she turned and went the opposite direction.  I think I started 5 hogs that day and came up with nothing.  I was wondering who stole my dogs and put look alike culls in thier place.

I have been out of hunting hogs for awhile. But back in the day we caught many hogs with dogs that opened. The yellow dogs and leopards we had  opened then drifted 100 or 200 and opened again until they were looking at them. We did not use pits our dogs bayed till we got there and were told to catch. Nothing wrong with a dogs that opens and drift ton rack. We wanted to hear the race and we didn't have these electronics. But of course that was many years ago when our dogs were expected and breed to do it our way. Happy hinting and God Bless

Open or closed mouth is cool with me as long as the dog hunts and finds hogs!!!!!!!!I had an open mouthed dog and caught just as many pigs with him as I did my silent dogs plus he was much easier to locate
