I think there's too many variables to say for sure.
Yeah, it's easy to sit behind a computer and say, "If it were MY catchdog..." or "...by all means a cull" but in reality who owns a dog that hasn't made a mistake?
Say for instance I have a dog who I consider the best cur dog that ever hunted. Now you also have a buddy (we all know one) who has a piss-poor dog that he seems intent on always hauling around. One day that piss-poor dog ups and finds a hog ahead of everything thing else. Do you start culling curs?
One of my absolute best dogs a couple months ago took a notion that when I turned him out of the box he was going to straight shoot me the finger and crawl under the buggy. I usually don't do this, but this went on for a few weeks until one day I had enough and he got the raw end of a pretty good switch. Didn't take long and he got his mind right. According to what I'm reading, I suppose now he's a cull.
Even with good breeding and goals in mind, dogs are simply not machines. They think, reason, and make decisions all the time. If you think you have a perfect dog, just brag on him to someone a little bit then take 'em hunting.
Personally, as (mentally) young as the dog AND being that this dog is 1/2 cur (if the one I'm thinking of) I would definately give him another shot. If it happens again, then you might have some thinking to do.
