nice hogs and wish i had a job like that,good looking dogs like that cd , why dont u use a catch vest? he looks like he would be worth protecting.
Havent used them in a long time. Dogs get hung up too much and get too hot. Ive seen them get killed in them just as dead as without. there was a topic on here awhile back about cds vests snagging on trees and brush, some folks said they didnt have that problem. that very week we filmed a cd trying to get to a hog in the water but was hung up on a tree limb. Just personal preference i suppose, like anything else.
We always wondered the same thing about ol micheal, "why dont he use a catch vest" then you told me this same thing and i thought well my cd usually run hard enough they dont get caught up, WELL wouldnt you know it the next time hunting with him we missed prolly 3 hogs caused he kept getting caught up in briars and it sucked, so went to cut collar only after that and it acutally seemed like the dog was more mobile and didnt get as hot, i actually liked it better myself..But this is just an opinion and preference no right or wrong..
Sorry to steal the thread Micheal...
OH and this just goes to prove i DO work harder than you do...Nice Catch.
