Good point Matt,  I think it really only matters when you're dealing with dog smart hogs... Hogs like that hear a dog open, and they're ready to slip.  Silent dogs obviously come in all varieties, hunting wise.  Definitely got to keep my tracker handy when I put Ellie down... the disadvantage of being totally silent is they can be in the next county before you even figure out they jumped one...  I do feel I catch more hogs because of it though..
