everybody that has replied to this post think they know it all about vests and collars. well hogs have tusks...sharp ones, thats how they defend therselves so when you buiy one you need to know its not gonna last forever. casey didnt ask for everybodies opinion on differnt vests thats just how it goes. it kinda stumps me how so many people have there "professional" opnions on these kinda things then people have to think other people are being smartasses. i just cant stand a know-it-all. it doesnt matter what kind of vest u have if you get on a bad hog especially one thats been dogged before, he know what it takes to hurt a dog or get away from it, so if your not there immediatly to take care of the situation things likethis will happen. I happened to be the one that took mr. lee hunting that night and that dog is no chump he catches and holds no shaking no jumping around jusholding so it was just not very good craftsmanship on that particualr vest. atleast need a flap over top of the week spot (stitching) kind of like vehicles theres good makes and models in all of them dodge chevy ford . just dont buy one that was made on a monday.. that is all
So I'm assuming this your "professional smart ass" opinion???
