Just because I've seen it brought up recently. What is your expectations of a lead in catch dog? Particularly I'm interested in your definition regarding distance. Are lead in cds limited to 25, 50, 75 yards? Do you have a different term if you're releasing from 100, 200, 400+ yards?

my expectations typically depend on the bulldog or bulldogs we have with us. then add in the terrain and the dogs allready on the hog/ makeup of the pack you are huntin. with the majority of the bulldogs ive had for many years we used 2 bulldogs if we could as sometimes they were all the dogs that would be holding on a bad hog. nowadays my partners pack is ruffer and one small bulldog is normally a deal sealer if the hog isnt caught allready. and as someone else posted allready..... im fat, out of shape and 61 so if we dont have a kid/fast runner with us we turn a bulldog loose only once we are pretty damn close. and each hog can be different too. but if you start hearin dogs gettin hurt then the bulldog is sent. idealy i turn in the bulldog so that a person can get to him in 30 seconds or less once caught.
