Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I had to apoligize to my dog Kate this morning.

That was kinda my conclusion after a half day trying to get the boxer to track.

Here is the info from the MT regs:
Dogs
Montana law states that a person may not use
dogs to hunt or chase game animals. Dogs may
be utilized to recover or locate wounded big game.

Yeah, Im familiar with them. Im really glad they came to their senses on that one.

When I was in So. Africa I had a shot at a Zebra. The bullet hit a branch and sent the bullet who knew where. The Zebra was in the brush and I couldn't imagine not getting hit by the bullet. We went back and got the rancher and came back to where the shot took place. Within a couple of minutes the dogs had the Zebra worried to the point it didn't see anyone coming up to put in the final shot. Good dogs.

Yeah, we used a Dachshund x Fox terrier a lot in Africa. Goofy looking little dog, but the hunt was in him...

did you ask her how she wanted her steak cooked when you got home?

I have another one. If you want to know who your best friend is, lock both your wife and your dog in a closet for an hour. Then see which one wants to kiss you when you let them out.

If we are talking about this dog, yes I did. She led a really good life!

Kate eats good but not steak. I have had extremely good luck using Great Pyrenees. This one is a half breed with the mother being Great Pyrenees and the father unknown. We had the Great Pyrenees to keep the coyotes out of the ducks and chickens but the deer tracking was a bonus. miles

Kate is a great name for a dog!!

Why would you lock em in the closet when the trunk of the car's handy.

Are you familiar with the kids' program "Mel and the Green Trashcan"? It was about a boy and a Great Pyrenees. It was one of the programs that wore out the TV when my son was small.

I don't know about elk, but our late mini Dachshund was a fool for caribou. Anytime we were traveling caribou country we had to leash him or he'd disappear for an hour or two, then give us the stink-eye when he got back. No predator ever got him, and he always tracked us down too - no we never waited for him on caribou. Did spend hours and hours waiting on him over the years until he got tired of chasing hares tho...

Cook her up a pound of bacon and I'm sure she will lie at your feet again.

In Sweden, if one is to hunt ungulates, you have to have a tracking dog (or be able to get one quickly if needed).

The dogs that my hunting consortium uses for moose are awesome!

Sadly, I am not. Sounds like a great show. miles

Baby Kate. I think she is the brown one on top.



Last year picture of her.

Here is Tee and her first deer........ I sure do miss her.

I know Gene. Kate goes everywhere with me that I will let her. I mostly let her go unless it is too hot for her to stay in the truck for a long time. miles

On reading the title, first thought was, "Uh oh, you shat by the back door in the early am?" But, maybe that only happens at my house.

Wow that Pyrenees cross made for a good looking
dog. I never heard of that before.
