It isn't a dumb question because the answer is yes and no. If you terminate a BOG at one end, that should more focus the reception pattern in favor of the terminated end. If you're looking for stations from the N, then terminate at the N end. In the event that the desired result is an antenna which receives both N and S but nulls E and W, then you lay it out N-S and do not terminate it.
