    What is the correct distance

    Hi guys,
    Just interested to know what distance people think is the correct or good distance to have a dog work from you when deer hunting?
    I've heard everything from "at your feet" to "10 metres in front"
    Just wanting to know the pros and cons of both?

    My initial thought would be to have it in close as too far out and they can take off, become too hard to read and run the risk of being spotted before you're even in a spot to see the deer. Cons of having it too close I spose you may miss the signs from your dog as well and it may limit its effectivenes. because its glued to one spot essentially

    Fire it at me
