i only feed after hunt never the day of, but one time we fed then some friends came into town and want to hunt so we loaded up and went anyways and it didnt change there drive to hunt or find a pig cause they got the job done anyways!
In the past I had a dog I fed then ran and he died on me, from healthy as a horse to dead. Brought him to my vet to find out what happened, he was full of food and the vet said his stomach flipped (not exactly sure what that means) gases built up and restricted his ability to breath. It was not a hunt we were on, just let him out to run an after 45mins to an hour this occurred. This only happened to me once and I never let a dog run after eating but it seems most everybody is on the same page..
its called twisted gut or a more proper name is called bloat. It usually happens to big dogs with large or barrel chested . Bloat usually happens when the dog is fed after a workout or hunt...
