Not with our Beagles it doesn't. And I am not talking about just 1 dog I am speaking of every rabbit dog we have owned since 1975. A whistle means time to go home to a hard headed beagle, a gunshot means another rabbit to chase! And believe me a good rabbit dog never wants to go home!LOL!

i said in my post i had never heard of anyone using a gunshot to call back in a lost dog, didnt know people did that.
all the old guys around here use metal whistles with a big pea so i dont know what to tell you. thats great yall do that and im glad its helped. i wasnt really wrong though. a whistle works just as good as a gunshot.

I'm not surprised somebody that thinks they "don't need to learn anything" doesn't know very much.

He has a problem no one can help him with! Some kid who can use his razor for 6 months before changing the blade telling people with hundeds of years of experience between them how things are.

Coyotes love
those gut piles.
I once checked on a coyote I shot, without taking the fur. Two days later there was just fur left. Coyotes feed coyotes.
They should turn the "Deer Crossing" signs into signs -"Coyote Sanctuary."

What I found works well is to gut the deer in an open area so crows, vultures, and eagles can easily see the guts from the air. If the birds do not quickly finish off the guts, the racket the crows make will quickly attract other animals. Ideally, if the birds can finish it all off, all the better as I do not want to be attracting a bunch of coyotes. Everything is gone in a day.
