Ear or nape of the neck.My buddies dog catches by nose/mouth and last week I had to break hog off her while he broke her off hog.She had top jaw he had bottom jaw.That was a pain in the rearend boar hog had good teeth and it was pretty dicey.
X2 on that last week caught a 200+ sow and bulldog caught in the mouth and the sow broke her jaw I wasn't a happy camper. I would much rather an ear dog buts that's just me....
