Title: Bringing dog to feeder? Post by: Curdog352 on July 31, 2012, 09:55:37 am I have a jack russel pup that I've been trying to bring him everywhere I go except work. I'm new to the whole stand hunting scene, been running dogs forever. The question is What's yalls opinion with me bringing him whenever I go to fill the feeder and check the camera. Do you think it'll affect the deer coming to the feeder with having his smell as well as mine?

And he kills some pretty big deer every year heck he has a feeder 50ft from his back porch and I've seen deer be at that feeder at night and the weeny dogs run up to the fence and the deer just stare at them and go back to eating

X's 2, my lab (rip) went everywhere with me, hell she would even sit in the deer blind with me quite a bit, it never affected me seein deer one bit. I've got a funny pic somewhere, im holding a lit cigarrette in the openin of a popup window and you can see the deer behing the cigarrette lol. I think the whole "scent elimination" gimmick is a marketing scheme.....and a damn good one at that!!!.....wish I woulda thought about it first lol.
