I dont worry about it too much my dogs catch legs and anywhere else they can
In a situation like that it would be fine, but my catch dog and all my cur dogs catch on the ear, they catch and hold not just bite wherever...and it is sad to watch a good dog try over and over to grab a ear like he is suppose to thats cut off and watch him get cut to death trust me...a hogs ears are cut off for one reason only around here and that is by people that dont agree with catchin hogs with dogs, only someone that knows what they are doing cuts an ear off.. the reason i stopped tagging them was because if a deer hunter sees a hog with a tag in the middle of a herd which one gets killed??? but on the other hand thats the reason for marking them on certain places, so hunters know which ones are good for meat hogs... and i mite bob a tail or not it just depends, never affected me because i leg them by the leg not the tail
