Oh yeah. I know A few REAL GOOD curs that open quite a bit. They must be moving track faster than the speed of sound though becuase they catch a crap ton of hogs and every body knows open dogs can't catch hogs.

I have a male ybmc that is open about every 20-30 seconds he will bark bout 3-4 times terry has hunted behind him and I'm sure he would vouche for me when I say I don't think it makes a difference cause we have caught just as many hogs behind my open dog as we have behind our silent dogs
Yeah, bo's a talented dog for sure, I was also referring to My Salt girl, Black Bo, most of TShelly's crew,and lots of Mikes Tweety bred dogs the ones I saw anyway. If their fast and determined, mouth don't matter for much.
Lol yeah they sure will sing to one. Erik's boogie dog will even open when cold trailing. Jut like an old plott hound.. You can definitely tell right before boogie is about find a hog
