Thread: new to hunting dogs

OK...so you didnt find deer you think you shot...... thats a tough break....my self I have spent hours looking,and in the end realised I had FAILED TO TRUST THE DOG... she told me where it went,I didnt believe her...wounded deer dont go uphill you silly dog.... the two pools of blood to begin with was all we found,up onto ridge heading home,down ridge 4-500 yards further on hour later deer pops up head,miss headshot and drunken stagger,next shot in boiler room...get home and find first long range shot had taken hunk out of its rump.....lesson learnt. trust the plurry dog.....
what I said earlier about finding dead animal being dogs job...Meg is air scenter....not so flash on ground...pisses me off loosing ducks in long grass...it is what it is,she awesome on steady beaze..... I NEED TO LEARN how to adapt WHAT I DO to fit in with her strengths.
