IMO a strike vest is useless. Where do you see most dogs get cut? I'd say the rear end, guts, and throat. A bay vest isn't gonna help any of that.
Do you not get alot of dogs cut in the sternum/chest? Seems like mine do on the initial impact but then get tere feet under them and handle up I didn't know bay dogs had an initial impact... I thought that was the catch dog's job.  |

Dont wast your money on the the boar bibs that dont have kevler. They get shreaded pretty easy. ymo, Mrs, Kbar |

The last 3 hunts we have had 2 dogs cut on their shoulders and one on his chest just below the neck. Jay gave me an Uglydog bay vest to try on Blade. I may be getting a couple more.

Bay dog vests will help prevent those little cuts that cause just enough damage to shut a dog down for the night. Alot of bay dogs will try to catch once the cds catch. I've heard of alot of good strike dogs get sent to the PEARLS from a cut in the chest. But I would only run vest on the bay dogs when it is cold.

They can run but they can't hide.
