i run mostly closed mouth dogs.
i have a few hounds that are open. one dog is open on track and the other is open when she hits the ground.
my experience has been about the same, but it just depends on where your hunting.
if your hunting an area that gets dogged all the time, you might want to run your silent dogs.
i hunt some areas that are rarely hunted if ever, and it doesn't matter if the dog or dogs are open, the hogs dont get far.
however, i will say this much, it does get annoying sometimes when a dog won't shut it's mouth. Other times, you haven't heard a bark all night and wanna hear your hound bark even if there isn't a pig.
me personally, i like a closed mouth dog, but if my hound gets on a real hot track and she bumps a few times, it doesn't bother me a bit. cause usually in the next 20 minutes, we're hobbling the hog.
