Thread: Calibre for over a Deer Dog

Let @Tahr and Tilly be your guide 100 on the clock and counting

Suppressed 300 AAC the new Hornady sub sonic 190 Ammo shoots well in my AR but won't cycle yet, not a problem for a bolt gun.

Hah. I know nothing.

My dog doesn't seem to mind the noise, but I have never fired an un-supressed rifle with her. I use up to short magnums with her but always suppressed. I've never noticed her retreat when I've been about to shoot, but I am always conscious of where she is and call her in if she's going to be in the muzzle blast. She comes in close to my legs if I quietly click my tongue.

Interestingly though she has taken a dislike to being in photos with deer. I have to kid or drag her into the pic and make her sit. I think that its the flash on the camera that she doesn't like.
They are complex gadgets, dogs.

I used to have a huntaway that would walk backwards to me when she winded a deer. It became my way of knowing there was something close, but it was her way of protecting her ears.
