Hunting with CsV

Are they capable of solo (with handler) hunting, or do they do better in packs?

Or are they generally unsuitable for hunting?

I was recently in a discussion (with a group of members of the same club mentioned before) about hunting dogs. Several of them were judges discussing the performance of certain hunting breeds and how useful (or useless) different breeds were. One lady asked me if my dogs were used for hunting, to which I replied, "of course!" "you know how retrievers get the animal and bring it back, and hounds go baying after the animal.... well Vlcaks find the animal, kill it for you, and you retrieve it!" One person said, "doesn't that defeat the purpose?", and another said, "it is better than a pointer" lol
