I'm concerned that if I shoot a hog in front of the gunshy dogs they're gonna get spooked every time I get close to a bay thinking they're gonna get peppered again.
When I first started hunting I had two dogs and lever action .44 and I killed hogs just fine. I have a male that never ever changes his barking at the shot of a rifle. Now the female that I have had never been shot around and after a few hogs that I shot she would get to where she would watch for me and when she saw me coming close to the bay she would get real loose and then leave out right when the hammer dropped. I enjoyed it but I found in thick country with alot of youpon it is extremely hard to get in close enough for a shot without breaking the bay.
