Don't spend a bunch of money. Heat will kill a dog more often than a hog. This "hobby/obsession" will cost you enough without vests hanging in the barn.

Yes, use them when you can, just don't spend a lot of money. Some bay/strike dogs don't need vests.
After basic dog handling equipment, my good money was spent on a tracking unit and tracking collars for all the dogs.
For me and my bay/strike dogs, knowing where they are is a bigger safety issue than hogs teeth.

I would say that it is the owners decision. I run vests and don't it comes down to knowing your dogs. One can run around or jump over a hog. If the dog can't move fast no vest will stop the hog from crushing the dog against a tree. Other dogs are not as agile. I say go hunt with a vest and watch the dog. I borrowed vests for a couple months. Now only one dog wears a vest and collars on the others. The collars are more for saying game time. But I only do business with Wild Boar USA Uglydog.

Do a search for hardcore hog dogs on this webiste. You'll find an old post by me. Long story short, I wouldn't ever do business with him again. You can't re-nig on a deal and try to hold on to someones money and expect to be well thought of. |

I cant find that old post on HArd Core Hog dogs. Do you mind telling me what the deal was? I already ordered some bay vests from him? Dont want to get a dog killed over a bad vest.

I didn't find it the 1st time I searched either. Then I did another search for hardcorehogdogs.com and I found it.

I use a 3/4 bay vest from Tejas Outdoors and it works great on the bay dogs year round. For the bay dogs that get a little braver, Ive seen the P and P bay vest and they look good. I plan on gettin some. In my neck of the woods if the temp. and humidity are high, vest or no vest your dogs will over heat on a long race.

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 |
