Safer or the same -- catching and shooting over a bay?

Both are good with the right type of dog. Not to upset anyone, Different people use terminology in different ways. Some people have bay dogs that I would consider running catch dogs. I don't know if you have ever noticed at a bay event, someone will bring a pair of what they consider bay dogs that have to be pried off the hog every time. They might be great hog dogs but they are not bay dogs. I have had dogs that bay tight and had some that bay loose. One I heard the other day was a gritty bay dog. The dog would catch hogs under 125 lbs. I never used a bay dog to catch a hogs. If there is a good trainer out there please correct me. You can train or allow your bay dog to get involved in the catch. This is neither right or wrong, it depends on the number of dogs and how you like to hunt them. If you have a dog that tracks, bays and catches it is not a bay dog in my book. If you have 4 or 5 true bay dogs I have never had a problem shooting over them. If what some call a bay dog is tying on to a hog they are most likely going to get cut. If your dog bays then goes in after the catch dog, would you consider it a help dog or bay dog. I have had very few true bay dogs cut up real bad. I trap or shoot most Of the hogs I catch now. I allow very few people to bring guns when dogs are used. I don't think you can say one method is safer than the other, Old hunters will tell you a dogs safety depends on the person hunting them.
