I have no problem with that style of hunting but I strongly suggest using two dogs since there are two ears and it only makes since to me ! Two dogs have a greater chance at anything thrown at them... Seems to me that running only one dog is just not going to be as productive or SAFE !!! Just my two pennies...
I would hunt 2 dogs that hunt and catch like a plott/pitbull cross or mtn cur /pitbull cross...but you will need a good tracking system cause some of these dogs won't bay...just catch...
the other way would be to hunt 1 loose bay/strike dog and you carry a gun with you...
