okay deuce24 i'm bored and your football analogy made me want to counter it with my own football analogy.

just like a team you got to run with the best guys/dogs you got. think about the catchdog like a kicker. The kicker/catchdog is a specialized unit on the team that has a unique job. most teams only have 1 kicker and 1 punter. most hunters usually only have 1 or 2 solid catchdogs. Now the guy said his catdo was young under 2 yrs old but had caught over 100 hogs and this was the first time he had ever done this. so you got a young kicker who has never missed a kick and one game he finally misses 3 or 4 kicks in a row but in the end, still hits the game winning field goal. well even though he missed a bunch of kicks, you can't just cut him from the team cuz NO ONE ELSE ON YOUR TEAM CAN BE KICKER cuz they are real football players not kickers. and then in the offseason realize that there really aren't that many good kickers available on the open market just average ones. so you gonna replace your near perfect kicker thats only done you wrong one game for a random one on the open market, who might also end up letting you down. its the same with dogs, if you decide to cull him for just the one mistake, what are your options to replace him? you can't replace it with a cur cuz it won't catch like a catchdog. a random bulldog? who knows if it will catch solid or even as good as the one you had been working on for 2 years. you gonna raise another bulldog pup? cuz you need a replacement in the meantime. I say keep going with what you got unless he lets you down again, but get a good backup prepared just in case. well I guess if you got two catchdogs you can always give the punter an audition.
