I used to think one out was for a different reason...more than 2 dogs in the thick woods would make a hog break and make them run and run...I believed that one out and the dog is more cautious and only puts teeth on a hog to stop it and then backs up and bays...the hog feels more comfortable and less likely to run...they hog picks up on the dogs caution and makes him feel like he has the upper had...so this makes the hog feel at ease...
a dog that is out hunting and does not bark but catches in my mind will get beat to death or die of heat exhaustion if it is that rough to not bark and just catch...
I have had 1 dog that could wear out a big boar and catch and release it until I showed up...would not over heat or would not get cut up when working alone...in a pack they caught and released and when I got there they just caught...but after a while I had them back out when I showed up and I would shoot over the dogs because it was at that time that they had the highest chance of getting crippled up...did not always work out that way but it did more often than not...
I reckon 1 out really just means casting one dog out...
so if I am wrong please give the exact definition so that I can understand...
