X2!!!
I dump them ol catch dogs as soon as they hear em. The longest I drop is about 3-400. But I drop em and I follow em in. Im usually about 75 yards away when they hit!!!
You must either hunt pretty open country or have some slow catch dogs!!!
Most of our spots, if you cut them from 50 - 75 yards it still takes you a little bit to crawl through them thickets!!
