Sounds just the way it should be. I have hunted with "those" type people also, and it's not nearly as enjoyable. Sure I like a good dog, and nothing makes me swell up with pride more than when one really shines but the competitiveness can be left at the house.
When I'm in the woods with a group, conversation is seldom about my dogs. I learned a long time ago that they can hear you talking about them and will try their darndest to make a liar out of you. Best just to shut up and let them do their thing. Actions speak louder than words anyway, right? It's also hard to learn anything new if you're the one doing all the talking.
I'm going to pack up and make a hunt (invited or not
) with you guys sometime! Just kidding...
You guys must also have a better way of hunting that I also really need to know about to stay clean enough to hit Applebee's. If I were to walk into a place like that after being in the woods, they would have the law called thinking I just murdered someone. Then again, I tend to fall down a lot. Not my fauilt...friends say I was born with small feet!
