Dogs have been trying to teach their human pack mates how to hunt for tens of thousands of years.

Last year I was visiting friends and family in Wyo. My buddy ran up to me and said "Hey, I just shot a bear off my four wheeler!"
I thought great, why the hell would you do that?
He said "No, I had been out bear hunting and walking back a bear was on my four wheeler!"
Hahaha! Good one, but I've got a story that evens that score.
Friend of mine was out hunting bear with his dad all day. They saw a bunch of signs but alas, no bear. They head back to their Jeep after dusk and while they were gone, a bear had ripped the passenger side door nearly off the hinges, destroyed the interior, ate all their food and left a huge pile of sh#t in the back seat.
Should have stayed closer to the cooler.

During WWII dad was a USMC MP assigned to a remote location on the N end of Oahu. They'd do frequent patrols both via jeep and horseback of the back paths and roads looking for infiltrating Japs and anyone else that wasn't supposed to be there.
Now troops in the pacific that did get fresh meat subsisted on a diet heavy with mutton imported from NZ and Australia. not tender lamb, but grizzled old sheep that no longer produced wool.
His unit had a good navy cook, but they were burned out on a diet of mutton and fish, (mostly acquired via hand grenade fishing).
On one patrol they saw the brush moving and got out to investigate the cause. it was a rather large boar. The prospect of fresh pork was too much to pass up.
now dad was armed with a Thomson SMG with a 50 round drum. The pig was at close range so he had it on single shot and put a .45 round right between its eyes. The pig just grunted and started after them. Dad jumped in the back of the jeep and his driver hit the gas with the pig in hot pursuit. Switching to full auto he unloaded the full 50 round drum on the presumptive porcine.
When they butchered him the skull was over an inch thick and the fat provided several inches of body armor. The Between the eyes shot produced a mere flesh wound and most of the rounds tunneled and tumbled thru the fat layers doing no mortal damage.
He beat the pig to death with a Tommy Gun!

Are you OK with using dogs to hunt birds?
Find them and flush them isn't much different from find them and tree them.

I used to hunt rats, using dogs. But the rat problem around here is about licked. I haven't seen one in a couple years. Same with the ground squirrels. They're not a problem anymore, but I probably killed a hundred of them driving them out of here.
I was wondering how you feel about other people using dogs to hunt birds. The times I've seen it done, it looks like an art form.

No worries Bra - just wondering how the Tennessee got squeezed out of you.
I been in Cali for a few lifetimes myself but still get a South Carolina thrill when the dogs go on the call.

Maybe Tennessee squeezed him out?
Some folks find it hard to believe that some poor folks still live in the mountains and don't rely on the feds. And they are happy and don't ask for anything. (except to lawfully pursue game)
