please keep in mind that I'm a new hog dog hunter myself, only just starting to get dogs, but my OPINION is that yes, you do get an adrenaline rush from bay-n-shoot tactics.  that was what first got me into hunting hogs with dogs.  you still get the mystery of wondering what the dog is baying when you hear the bark, you still get to work your way into a bay and see the dog work, you may get to see your dog catch the smaller hogs (depending on the dog of course) and you still get the satisfaction of being in the woods and out hunting.  It just has a different type of ending.  I wonder how many of the experienced hunters that normally use catch dogs sometimes switch to a couple of curs and a rifle, maybe due to a catch dog being in heat, or injured of just for a change of pace?
