Honest question..... Why do you go to the older dogs first at a split bay? Is it due to age/fatigue/ time frame they gas out in or other reasons??
I have always done the exact opposite, not tryin to say my way is right or yours is wrong by any means, just wonderin what your reasoning is......
Mine is this...... i try to get to em all as fast as I can but with the dogs I run only the smart make it to old age, the young dogs often try hogs they shouldn't resulting in injuries and broken bays so I try like hell to get to them first and don't worry as much about the old dogs because i'm far more confident that they will set up on a hog and bay until help arrives...
I think they mean that the older dogs are smarter and have more experience therefore they go to them first because they have confidence that it will be a hog and more than likely a good one. That's what I got out of it. But I do agree with you young dogs are often over confident and are too rough resulting in some injuries!
