Sounds like those young dogs are really putting the effort in. Real good hunt.

The jowl really is not a bad place to catch and I am like you, I do not want one on the ear.

When we caught the 3 sows the other day, on the first one he was caught on the jowl with a deep bite. I took the time to break him off and put him on the ear and let him hold there. The next one was caught with 3 dogs before he got there and he was caught on top of the neck, I didn't take time to move him. The third one was bayed with one dog and he was the only catchdog involved, he eared up, when I send him he leaves hard but twice I have seen him slow down and go around cover to get a better shot. I think he is going to get better and be quite functional, but even caught on the ear he wants a mouthful he'll have the ear but be deep in the head, on the jowl he'll have a mouthful, on the top of the neck he'll have a mouthful. I believe the sorry sucker is so anxious to bite he just takes what is available the instant he arrives, but always on the head. When conditions allow I'll continue to put him on the ear for awhile and see what happens.
I know the ear is the universal standard and is good, but I wouldn't mind him settling on the jowl since all hogs have a jowl, and a dog doesn't get slung in front of the hog as bad. I had a bigger female bulldog that started on the jowl and caught that way for quite awhile before swapping to the ear, so I had a chance to watch the results and it worked well. What I absolutely don't want is one that catches somewhere on the snout.
I had mentioned I'd shocked him back to me the other day when the hog broke twice, when the most recent boar broke he went about 100 feet and was coming back without me even calling him. Seems to be pretty intelligent and manageable.

Dang, I can't picture 5-800 being the norm for the handheld. I'd say .7 to 1.2 is probably the norm here, not a constant signal but going in and out often enough to go to them. With the hound recovery long range antenna 3 to 4 miles is common.
I'm told they "could" be made with unlimited range (like a sat phone) but the fcc won't allow it, on one hand that seems great, on the other there may not be enough frequencies to make it work, but then there are millions of cell phones. I guess could make software, a filter or something to be range adjustable. Otherwise you'd be picking up numerous dogs constantly. I am dumb as a rock when it comes to this tech stuff, born a few generations ago. I can't even do all the handhelds are capable of.

Old man. That is good range. I would love to get half of that here.
In this flat country, With a handheld it is a struggle to consistently get 500-800 yds. I have a garmin that I keep on the truck/buggy with the long range antenna and I have only gotten 2 miles once or twice. typically 1.6-1.8 you start loosing comm on them. In Tn you get easily get 10 miles easily across the mountains with just a handheld.
About the only elevation change here is stand in a hog waller or step up on a tree stump!
