The 2 main reasons I prefer a silent dog are
1. Most of the landowners around here dont like to hear a bunch of hounds running through the woods barking, They think it runs their deer off.
2. Silent dogs catch more hogs around here. There are more and more people Hog hunting every year and there is more and more pressure on hogs every year. I have hunted with lots of hounds and some good ones, not the ones that just run around in the woods barking and get credit for it. But they just don't produce hogs like a silent dog. I have some buddies that used to hunt a lot of hounds but they hunt silent dogs now because they just catch more hogs with them.
