Fire medic....there's a few guys that will help young guys out. Take them out and help them get their pups started. I've done it myself...but...my main place is public access so it doesn't really matter.
When I got back into dogging I had a pup that I needed to start and it was during deer season. Monty welcomed me out....we hunted quite a few times through the fall. I also hunt with Blake Fanning....he's got quite a few spots and welcomed me to come hunt with him after we met out in the woods. Chase Mallard picked up my bulldog and a pup that were lost, called me to pick them up. Weve hunted on a couple of his spots and will again. Then theres Brett Bonner and Richard Miller, Drew Whistler and Jordan Young. The list goes on. I don't know if its just my trustworthy face
or just an abundance of generosity but there are some good people around. If I was that kind of guy I would have all kinds of places to road, rig, hood and walk hunt. As it is...if I don't want to hunt by myself on my public access place and everyone is already booked or tied up I just sit home. My girl don't mind that a bit
Unfortunately....not everyone is......?ethical?
It does kinda suck when you've done the work to find spots to hunt and someone comes in behind your back. Easy way to lose spots that way....one hunter is every hunter as far as some landowners are concerned.
