I know there are guys (guides especially) who bring their dogs with them in the back country.
Just curious about in a hunting scenario, does the dog come with you or stay in camp? How do you keep them in camp? If they come with you how do you keep them from blowing out deer or elk? .
I now live in and will be hunting next season in a crazy high density grizzly area. Bringing two dogs with me would be a big help if I don't have someone to hunt with on a particular day.
I'm new to grizzly country and have no fear of hiking around with my dogs by my side (they are really good and stay right next to me in the field). But hunting alone in the forests of NW WY is something not too many guys recommend, maybe that will change for me over time but for now it makes me nervous.
The dogs are Mountain Curs and are pretty fearless. I have shock collars for them and don't think it's going to take much training for them to stay by my side when in the field.
So for anyone who brings their dog with them, what can you tell me about it?
