Suspicious CD up for sell....?

[KevinN]

Closer the better for me. Helps reduce cuts and I'm fat and slow

I turned mine loose further than that on that hog that wrecked all your dogs...

Lots of ways to play this game bud, a versatile cd can be worth its weight in gold.

 I agree 100%, I've heard time and time agiain that cd's are dime a dozen. And I couldn't disagree more. I've been w/o a good cd as I'm sure everybody has at some time and its almost as bad as having a lead dog that won't hunt.

Just a matter of preference boys. If I had a catch dog that was rock steady from 1/4 mile I still wouldn't unsnap from less than 75 yards 90% of the time.

The question is why?

Why risk getting your strike dogs getting hurt or killed?

Some folks have to learn the hard way before they step back and think about. I know I did... and I'll never send a catch dog from a distance again.

If I had bay dogs that would stay with a caught hog I would not turn loose from far out but when my catch dog catches most of my dogs will roll out but I only hunt one strike dog at a time

I have done more times than not that's why you aren't going to sneak up on these running sobs here so send them from 3-400 yards and haul butt in the ranger as soon as they hit!! Different country!!! To each his own what works for some don't work for others!!!

X2 I think to much of my dogs to turn them loose from that far out.

I use real rough dogs so I make sure them rough curs got some help pretty quick that's why I run my bulldog loose she's found her share of pigs to

[T-Bob Parker]

People get their feelings hurt pretty quick on this subject for some reason and I probably have been very guilty of not wording my opinion very politely a lot of times.

Let me say, most of what I hunt has almost no population left anymore and the hogs that are left run as bad as I've seen anywhere I've personally hunted, but even still, I expect my curs to find, stick, get a bay AND hold a bay till I get there to check out the hog and where he's bayed.

I could type out two pages of examples of terrible horrible places where a hog has bayed that may have killed almost every dog I brought if I'd have let a cd go early. But alas, I'll stick to one example.
Me and my best bud were hunting a bad nasty thick swamp property that has roseheadge thick as I've ever seen growing everywhere, EVEN ON THE SWAMPY SECTIONS.
Normally, you duck to go under roseheadge, on this place in certain spots, it would drown you. We got a dang good dog wrecker of a boar hog bayed in some bad stuff and he was out for scalps!!! 40 minutes and hands and knees to the bay and it kept getting thicker, at 20 yards I said "the heck with it!" And turned the catchdog loose as I figured with out her getting hung up I could get in there pretty quick! Well as it turns out it still took 8-10 more minutes to get to the boar as he was busting his way thru dogs and thorn vines away from us and after we stuck him, we noticed all the carnage. It wasn't pretty.

It's all different strokes for different folks and some people like catchdog work as much if not more than strike dog work so if that's you then great! Be the best you can be at it! Just for me personally, I like for the curs to hold that bay.

As far as it being "suspicious"?? I don't understand what's suspicious about it? With all due respect I read this several days ago and wondered if you were a young guy or just kinda getting started in this sport, not in a rude way at all fella, just that in only a few years of hunting you should see a jillion different ways that people do this and 300 yards would be a cake walk for about any pit I've ever hauled.

That's all, not being rude.

I got some dogs that won't catch even after the catch dog gets there. Those are the ones I send cd from distances. Now that I'm out of school, I have started to gather some rougher dogs as well, I send a 15 lbs paterdale to them from as close as I can get.

Sending a cd from a distance is a good way to cull the week and dumb, no matter the conditions of the property. I have had dogs caught for a long long time in some bad stuff. Hands and knees, swimming in ice water, ect Do I do it all the time? No, especially now that I am able to keep a bigger yard of dogs. But when I was in school and had less dogs, I couldn't afford to have anything so un-versatile as a lead in cd only. But let me tell you, now that I can afford to have more dogs, the only cd that has come off the chain all summer has been my pat

Like to b as close as possible but have sent them to shutdown runners from alot further than that. Gotta know your dogs! To each his own i learned the hard way that a good cd is not a dime a dozen and yes i used to believe that! But the best answer is what mike always says 'try before you buy' good hunting
