I was going to make this comment to @R93
The GSP breed are the worst - but any 4 legged animal tucked beside you is added danger
I used to put a knitted jersey on my GSP in blue - but it did not stay that blue for long

Yes - your dog would possible growl at the approach of another hunter - but its not you that we are talking about here - its another hunter shooting at you or your dog

Not growl indicate 100% I would know that something or someone was incoming with a Labrador working 3M in front of you he would display signs, air scenting , when his tail stops wagging it is game on. It is just safer for several reasons if you have a well trained dog working for you
