[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1493252, member: 21446"] Catch dogs don't seem to have a problem holding onto 300-400lb boars. They are so big not agile and wear down fast. 250lbers with 4" cutters kill more catch dogs than any and have relentless stamina. They are big, strong, quick, and if that dog ever loses an ear that pig will do some damage quick. Some how they will even cut through the Kevlar vest and make fatal lacerations in seconds. I would have never thought this style of hunting would have been looked down upon on this site from fellow hunters. These pigs expire quickly by knife. More quickly than a poor shot from a rifle that I've seen so many hunters make when I used to guide for whitetail and have to track up to a mile or more with dogs. These guys are not violent or trying to be badass's, it's just an effective safe way to harvest the animal when dogs are all over the pig and to avoid damaging their hearing. Then again I doubt most of these guys have gone out and shot or trapped 100's of hogs just to go back out to the same field's the next weekend and see a 100 more in the same area or see the damage they do to crops.
