I understand now, just never seen or heard of it down here in Florida. I guess it might be a bird dog thing but I've never been around the bird dog sport so I don't know.....I would just rather my dogs run the animal they are trained to run and not worry about the snakes. We have dogs get bit all the time but that's just part of it. Usually a dog gets bit after a hog or deer run through a palmetto thicket or what have you and fires the snake up and then the dogs come through on the track and that's when they get hit. Kinda something you can't avoid in my mind. He'll I bust off in the bushes after the dogs and ya snakes are on my mind but I damn sure ain't gunna stop going because I smell one or think there may be one in the next bush.
I understand the concept just wouldn't expose my dogs to that kind of breaking. Don't want them having that on their mind and then have them quit a track or foul them up running a big buck or something like that.
No problem , I didn't really explain when i posted it. Yes, I would think it's mostly a bird dog thing but I thought I'd post it here anyways just cause I have no idea if someone is like me ( likes bird dogs , coon dogs and hog dogs ) last year we had around 200 dogs and some people told me they had ranches so that let's me know people we're making a special trip for it.
Anyhow if anyone is interested or has more questions those numbers on the flyers should be able to help
Thanks
