Open or silent

I haven't hunted behind that many open dogs so my experience is limited. This open/silent topic has been covered a lot.....even with all the debates....good arguments made for open dogs....I STILL have a hard time understanding how....in areas where hogs are dogged excessively....that the chases aren't any longer with open dogs than they are with silent dogs.

Again, I'm more just thinking out loud than anything else but....if a hog that is "educated" about hog dogs hears a bawling hound....I would think he would be up and moving...AWAY...from the bawling.

Maybe I'm wrong...just makes sense to me. Anyway...not saying you'll put more pork on the table with silent dogs, just can't understand how the chases are "the same".
