Dogs

[AZ Vince]

Quick question before I head out.

Thinking of taking my blue heeler with me on a ten day coues deer hunt.

He sticks close, has basic obedience, and is a good companion that I enjoy. Since the shots tend to be longer, 300 to 400 Yards on average, I'm thinking he might be a good hunting companion. I take him when I'm quail hunting and such.

What say you?

I take my dog when I spring bear hunt. Once she figures out we are not bird hunting she seems happy to just hang out. I shot a deer with her this year and it freaked her out. She kept looking at me like am I next.

Just make sure it's ok with the game laws in the state your hunting. Every state is a little different. If it's allowed, I would do it.

I personally would not take my dog hunting. He is an awesome companion but tends to chase any living creature he can find . Anything from a mouse to a bear . If I leave him in camp he will howl as if attempting to wake the dead. Great hiking / camping dog but for hunting deer not so much.
