I am heavily allergic to any anything with fur or feathers, so I had NO experience with dogs growing up. Later, in my late 20's, I was invited to hunt with a guy who worked for me. So, over the course of a year, I acquired a 30:06 hunting rifle, two 22 caliber rifles, and a double barrel 12 gauge blunderbusket.
Duck hunting was fun, and I REALLY appreciated that the guys I hunted with had a very good hunting dog. It was a Golden Lab, and it LOVED to go hunting. We would place a camo net over it as we climbed into our 'missile tubes', and it would watch the skies as eagerly as we did. Once, after we missed a few ducks, the dog looked back at us and growled. I asked my friend why the dog growled, and he said "Buck is angry that we keep missing." So I was much more careful on how I tracked and aimed before I pulled the trigger. And, when we got one, Buck just jumped out of the net, swam to the duck, and brought it back.
When we deer hunted, we would spread out over a hillside, and then slowly walk down, looking to drive out any deer. Buck would run up to us, and walk with the person for a while, and then head to another hunter. I got to enjoy it when he came to me, I had brought some 'doggy biscuits' with me on the trip, and would carry a couple with me when we hunted. I would give them to buck when he hunted with me...
...HEY!!!! I needed ALL the help I could get!!!
