It's actually funny to hear you say that PiglyWigly! I was told the same thing by a few guys that I hunt with here and by a few guys that live on the mainland that eventually the guys who live by the Linebred breeds will "see the light" and be forced to cross more grit and speed into their lines! Only time will tell I guess!! We still have a few guys who pay big $ to bring in pure lines from Texas and Louisianna and still catch pigs so I am not sure exactly how true this statement is but think it would be a great thing to document and look into!
it's not that I don't like to hear a good loud bay, it's just more logical to use less bay and more RCD's on the ground. leggy dogs are gonna run down more, but aren't gonna work in some terrian. This is why I'm fixing to have 4 different CD's. not saying my way is best, but like you said, "some people will never see the light." besides, some people are so stuck in their old ways or just too close-minded, they will never figure it out. Look at gps technology, everybody knocked it at first, now look what's on every dogs neck in these pictures. that's why those of us who evolve with the pigs will catch more hogs. Good luck to everybody.
