Here's my input
I have bayed hogs with my open dog he ran track 300 yards from truck got bayed then rolled off when catch dog caught bayed at 100 then repeat , bayed at 200
An I have also had him run a hog all night
So depends on the hog
Not how much noise the dog makes
Y'all ever been hobbling a hog an looked up an had hog standing there looking at you ? With all the dogs barking an such ?
lol yep even had a boar hog run all over me when I was tying a squealing sow ! dogs were tied up raising heck and I was hollering at them to shut up and BAM !!! knocked me for a loop lol . after that episode I all ways left one dog loose lol .
