ive been on a hunt or two like that, I always find it amusing. I especially like it when the dogs are baying there butts off then you walk into the bay and you see a really nice doe standing there or a good buck, then it never fails you get the line, well there must have been a hog here cause my dogs don't trash lol. good time good times.
If you find a dog that can hold a whitetail at bay , buy it. Deer don't take a bay. If the story is true those were some nice dogs , just trashy .
