Hell... I run finder holders. Mine find them and hold them bayed till I get there!
Thats how we role ... for MANY reasons, other than its the best and most efficient in all terrain etc.! That said if sh!t hit the fan and i had to only own 1 dog to find and hold/ only hunt out 300 yds id get a good mut like a bird bull etc. However, In that situation id prefer a good cur that would strike and bay, then wait for me shoot over the bay then catch... glad im not poor and i can feed 2 dogs lol Thank u Lord bc my curs will out hunt any rcd
