Open Vs. Closed

Imo if the hogs run a little with a closed mouth dog get ready for some races when you put them open ones down. Being open does not mean anything as far as dogs. I have hunted behind silent hounds and open cur dogs. As far as range goes the hounds i have hunted behind were generally shorter range but would take alot colder track and had more bottom to stick with the track. BUT i have seen cur dogs take tracks hounds wouldnt take and stick longer than hounds. It all depends on the dog and what you want to hunt behind everyone hunts different with different dogs.
