I hunt some very open country and some very thick up and down country. When I am out in the open flat country I will send my catch dogs ( 2 )from as far away as 1/2 mile if ...
1. I have a solid bay
2. that I know it is a hog
3. My catchdog can hear the bay
4. if I can drive to the caught hog within a few min
The closer I try to get in the open country the bigger the chance of breaking the bay.
When I am in the thick stuff I will get as close as I can, I would like to see the hog before I send the catch dog, usually one dog, in this case of having to walk in close.
I always hunt my catch dogs in vest and collars. My female Dogo can cover the 1/2 mile to a bay in about 1 minute. I am in the panhandle so I do not have the heat and humidity that ya'll have down south. That will let me send dogs from farther out, I am not recomending it for ya'll that hunt in the heat.
