So, perhaps a little different to the usual stuff…

My Belgian Shepherd cross is a complete farm dog and considering I got him so young, he's very attached to me, and I to him. He's a pillar of strength in hard times.

I'm busy trying to get him used to gun shots (in the same way that you would train a horse to do so). Hoping that I can start taking him on hunts, if the opportunity presents itself.

I was wondering if anyone hunted along side their k9 friend? I don't mean gun dogs or tracking dogs, I mean walking out your front door and your pooch coming along because "f#ck you, you aren't just leaving me at home".

Obviously this is more directed at PH's and farmers...
 
This entirely depends on the dog to me. Dogs that are obedient and stay by your side its not much of a problem, but if its a little more rambunctious the extra movement/ excitement can be an issue.

Good morning. I'll take all of them actually. Whats the next step? Thanks, Derek
Have a look af our latest post on the biggest roan i ever guided on!


I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?
