   Dogs need regular exercise and indicator dogs need regular work or they go off the boil, six weeks is too long between jobs. It would take a while each hunt to get back in the groove unless it had...

   To be honest of your only getting out once every 6 weeks I wouldn't try to train up a indicating dog. You'll most likely just end up with a pet you don't actually take hunting at all as it's more...

   In my experience an indication a deer is reasonably close is a barking noise lol. Although catching up with it is another story.

    A clue that a deer is REAL close is finding new droppings balanced on top of grass or bushes. Once I even saw them suspended on a knot of supplejack vines in the Kaimais. A few steps further down and...

    I would be surprised to hear a roaring stag this time of year. More likely it was barking at you. Hinds will also bark so might not have even been a stag.
