BAYHARD 1 : I have yet to see any hound bear hunters put vests on their dogs ,up here in maine . Yet I have seen several Hounds that could have been saved or their injuries reduced if they had been wearing them . I would also tend to think that most bear chases are longer than Hog chases.

Up here in WI most people I know don't run vests, I have gave it consideration, but with the swamps and the humidity in the summer with the chance's of the dog overheating I don't. For hogs I would, but bear I wouldn't.
