Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Trump ‘disgusted’ over Noem’s dog drama: ‘Why would she do that?’

I don’t want a free like from UT.
I want a free BJ in SD. Up for a road trip?


However since that may not happen, I’ll settle for stating that as per usual, I see both sides here. Overall I do think Noem made a poor choice when mentioning the incident, even if it was meant to portray she isn’t afraid of making tough decisions. She possibly gained a few votes from hard core country folk that may not be huge fans of hers otherwise, but I am sure she lost a lot more votes from moderates who find that kind of thing appalling.

It is what it is, and I suspect she’ll wish she hadn’t made that point in her book. On the flip side, it is also good that she voluntarily got this skeleton out of her closet. If she hadn’t and it was dug up later by the enemy during campaigning, she’d be in an even worse light.

Not necessarily. Both my Catahoulas are very aggressive toward cattle when they are trying to move them. They nip and put on pretty vicious displays of growling especially when our bull gets testy which is always. That is different than attacking cattle but to most they couldn't tell the difference.

Noem's dog was a bird dog, and it killed 2 chickens. More or less, what it was trained to do. I would suggest that you keep a bird dog away from birds.

She did have a [thin] case for wacking the dog, but she forgot the third letter from SSS. Female brain at work.

I agree in general. However today in politics we need people not afraid of shooting vicious animals on our side. Having had many dogs and a few I had to dispose of I don't consider her story an issue. Just because a bunch of weak, simple individuals are too squeamish or have Disney mentalities don't like it so what? If moderates are so ignorant of reality do we really want them? If pussies decide who runs the country then it is obvious why we are in the shape we are.

Just illustrating absurdity by being absurd


The crux of the issue is that some see their dogs as man’s best friend, a best hunting buddy, and part of the family and take ownership seriously enough to put in the time it takes to teach the dog to be a “good citizen” through training. A responsible dog owner

Others see their dogs as nothing more than livestock and treat them as such

The latter, I can’t relate to

Simple Simon! Too funny. Bird dogs are not trained to kill birds of any kind. This kind of action from a family dog is unacceptable. Stick with stupid, it's all you have.

Beautiful pictures. You are ignoring the fact that some dogs are not going to ever become mans best friend. Training will not fix all dogs.

Dogs aren't for everyone. Dogs need someone to dedicate their time and patience to train and spend time with them. If you can't spend time with them don't get a dog, obviously she didn't spend a lot of time with her pup being too busy in her political life yet wanted to have a hunting dog at her leisure. Doesn't work that way, she also should have kept her mouth shut.

It took place 20 years ago. Not sure if she was in politics back then.

Hard core working dogs often don’t make good pets. Bear hounds are often looked at as tools and nothing more. They’re likely going to be hurt at some point and getting attached to them like a pet isn’t always a wise choice. Some houndsman do get attached and that is fine—-but I have seen too many hounds hurt and killed by lions and bears to own them myself, as I am a dog lover.

Killing the poor performers is something houndsman as well as bird dog trainers often do, to keep their reputation as a trainer of ‘good’ dogs. Same with those who breed cow dogs and whatever else. I don’t like it, but I see the rational to do so. They’re just working dogs to some people. If they’re both working dogs and family pets for a person that’s awesome but not everyone sees them as pets.

Personally I don’t see it as anyone else’s business though unfortunately that isn’t the world of politics, public spotlight and voter rational that we live in.

Kristi Noem’s situation doesn’t fit into any of those categories

👍🏼

Ms. Noem would be shocked to learn of...........the sheer quantity of bleeders on the Campfire.

Dogs that kill chickens, suck eggs, and bite people cannot be trained to not do those things.

I’d agree with that though I kind of get the feeling she is (or was) a bird dog/pet kind of person. I could be wrong about that.

That wasn’t the point of my post however.

This should have been the last post on this, Yet we have seven pages because a great number of people can not distinguish between Humankind and livestock and openly admit it.

Did you raise them from pups? I have a Blackmouth/Catahoula. 20 weeks old at this point. I’d like to pick your brain if I could. Sending you a PM.

Have you heard this woman read this section of her book aloud? Holy schidt, the bitch is a psychopath.

I’m having a hard time keeping quiet about this, she says the dog killed live stock, but most of all it was a dog that would bite, and she had kids, yall are upset because it was a bird dog, so what, I have been around them all my life, you whip hell out of them when they lung or try to kill and live stock, if they do you have a very hard decision to make that stays with you the rest of your live. I would never pass a dog that kills or could hurt kids on down the road to someone else. I have seen men that hunt hogs kill a dog that doesn’t get in the fight , and I know bear and cat men do the same thing, you don’t feed a dog that brings all your dogs down, wasn’t very long ago a dog was a tool, and breeding men wanted no weakness , I think she did what she had to do in her mind at the time, and being someone that has had to put a dog down, I admire the hell out of her for having the strength to do it. I have had dogs my whole life , and love them tremendously , but in the country you do what has to be done .

I saw where she canceled on Guttfeld and of course he had a field day with it.
