RE: Dogs in the woods everywhere
makes perfect sense to me. Around here you have two kinds of people running dogs. the ones who go out with the dogs and work them, and the pinheads who drive down the road, dump the dogs out and then drive up and down the road calling and searchin for their stupid dogs a few hours later.
There's an old man who runs the dogs at the WMA where I hunt. Those dogs are amazing. they obey commands like you wouldn't believe. That indicates that he does a lot of work with them.
on another piece of land I hunt in a state park, I run into a group of guys who look like they came off the set of deliverance. Their dogs don't listen and the guys don't work the dogs , they just turn them loose and hope they will run something up for them.
Big difference.
