Not trying to start another thread about open vs silent , or if hogs run more with an open dog. I was just wondering how many people on this site run open mouth dogs and consistently catch hogs.

Jet308: almost every dog we hunt is open.. We have about 4 out of the 20 or so that are SILENT as night. Every other one we hunt gives mouth, may it be a little or a few with alot. SPEED and tons of bottom are what produce the pork for us. We over 130+ for the year, so the mouthy dogs are getting it done  |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

Guess I'm a 'middle' man too, my dogs are silent but I hunt with guys that have open mouthed hounds...mostly Plotts. Killed 137 hogs in GA last season in 2 months.....and these hogs run....like all those 'apes' y'all are always speaking of. So I guess it's working for us.

I have a redbone that's open. Works 4 me Cuz when he's chasing he calls the silent dogs to him. I used to open but I'm learning that it don't hurt to b open. I do think it keeps a hog running longer but if has a long headstart but if the dogs want him bad enuff they'll get him

Thanks for all of the input so far. I have a BMCxRedbone cross that's a little over a year old and he has found more than a few hogs but he has started opening on track. I was considering selling him because of it but I raised him from a pup and he has a whole lot of potential. Thanks again for the input, keep it coming.
