Why You Don't Go By Yourself or Without a Catchdog! (Video)

Good clean clear video. I wish we could bay one in open woods like that. Usually we are in palmettos or swamp and you can't see anything until you get within a few feet of the hog.

I have been in that exact situation many times. I used to have a lead in catch dog, but I had to put him down two years ago, due to his age and arthritis. I just got a new CD pup in Feb, so am waiting for her to get old enough so I can get back into having a lead in CD. It has been a rough two years without one, as my cur dogs seem to get wrecked every hunt here lately!

Its a bad feeling when you walk into a bay like the one in your video, your cur dogs get braver as they think help is coming, and they either try to catch the hog or crowd him too close and get wrecked. And you with no catch dog to send in and help!

Good video though!
