you didnt mention how you were huntin so ill give you an example from my dogs. Ive got one that I CANT walk hunt for nothin. She wont take out. If were ridin in the truck and i drop her and hang out to BS drink a beer etc. she wont leave. If i drop her and get in the truck she takes out. Could just be the dogs thought yall were just goin for a walk
Id keep on them especially if you KNOW they hunt.
