I dont want to argue but if handle is what you guys had you wouldnt be looking for your dog for days and trying every trick in the book to get him , I hope you find him and are able to read him better on the next go around , I work all night pouring concrete in the summer and have no time to hunt , but my dogs are exercised on sundays and saterdays if im not working , but my dogs have enought sense to return back to us , and as for the lazy comment Im far from lazy , I run 17 + men in 50 million dollar concrete company and at the top of the food chain here , Ive had the same 2 bulldogs for 6 years and havent left them in the woods and theyve always returned , MR. UglYDOG how do you see a lost dog that hasent come back having handle and reading your dog ? I luv this site and luv dogs and Im not a trouble maker , I respect most peoples veiws here , justin I wish you the best with your dog and sorry for stepping on anyones toes
Most of us on here are respectful, and can agree to disagree about hunting styles, dogs, and what not, but after reading your comment made earlier about common sense I can see how some would take offense and get a defensive attitude. Justin's dog not coming back may or may not have anything to do with the handle on him. There are any number of scenarios that could have taken place to cause the dog not to come back and only one of those is heat. For all any of us know he could have gotten his gear caught up in the brush, gotten cut down even though he was wearing gear, may have tried to hunt on his own and hadn't made it back when they left and got picked up by someone that is less than honest. The what if's can go on and on. Picking at one possible cause and telling someone they lack common sense, and that's why they lost their dog more than likely isn't going to get you a positive response from said person. And not trying to be rude, but running a 50 million dollar concrete company has nothing to do with hunting, knowing your dogs can tolerate the heat, or handling dogs. We all know that you feel that you are important where ever you are, or in the business that you run, but that is completely unrelated to what's going on here, and does not translate into enough experience to be condescending about the way some of us hunt our dogs in hotter weather. We all do things differently with our dogs, but in the end they are just that, ours, and the man that owns the dog will hunt him in the manner he sees fit. So let's try and get back to the original focus of this post, this man lost his dog and we should all wish him luck in finding him. Still hoping you find him Justin.
