The land dictates really the kind of dog you need the smaller places need the ruffer type dogs to get them stopped before you get off the proptery, if you got 20,000 then sure why the hell not have loose dogs that can run and bay run and bay and never get off the land and most the time hardly ever get cut .
Not argueing with you but that's what I don't understand. It's always the opposite for me. My loose baying dogs usually have the hog bayed where they found it and everytime I've hunted with rough dogs one of them busted up a group of hogs and there were hogs and dogs scattered for miles.
Maybe you haven't hunted with GOOD rough dogs. i was gonna say the same thing but didnt want to keep this going.
