Hunting Dogs

Though hunting dogs and water dogs are naturally built to thrive out in the field and on the water, a few creature comforts can help to keep them happier and safer in these environments.

Rick Sauer was disappointed.

The Grand American Coon Hunt is the Super Bowl of coon hunting and Orangeburg, South Carolina, hosts the 49th annual weekend January 3-5.

A band of tight flying blue-winged teal buzzed down the far shore of the small lake. I whispered to my hunting buddy to get ready. Our pair of Labrador retrievers trembled with excitement.

Just as I had predicted, the teal flew to the west end of the lake, turned and headed up the north shore straight for our set of three dozen decoys.
