RE: Hunting slang?
I hunt beagles and there are a few slang term that almost any dog-hunter will recognize...
Trashy= Slang term for a dog that will trail anything in the woods, not the specific animal your hunting.
Mouthy/babbler= Term for a dog that barks anytime it just gets excited, not just because they have a hot trail.
Grinner= a possum
"Thicker than hair on a cat's back"= an especiallybrushy area
I'll try and think of a few more....
