65? I won't question anyone cause everyone knows what's best for their dog. But, if I couldn't hunt at 65, I would miss out on half my season.
The biggest thing most are guilty of is not exercising their dogs till the week before opener, and then expecting to run them all day. My old man does the same thing and it pisses me off.
For or those that don't think a dog can hunt above 65, nobody would hunt in Kansas, OK, NC etc if that were the case. They just need to be ran consistently all year, and if you like to hunt all day, you might need more than one dog, because they do need breaks. This isn't a shot at any one person, just see a lot of it in general.
Cant believe some of you hunt your dogs in that warm of weather. Not even a consideration once it gets much above 60 degrees for me and my lab. And she's in about as peak physical condition as a dog can get. Just not worth it for me or the dog.
its . if i had to quit hunting when it gets to 60-65 degrees, i might as well stay home. we don't live in pheasant country. i am not about to drive 2-4 hours and spend 2-3 nights in a hotel and $300 in gas so that i can hunt til 11 AM and then go back to hang out at the hotel the rest of the day.
apparently you have yet to see me, I do have a fur coat, like a yeti.
chicks dig me cause I rarely wear underwear, and when I do its usually something funky.
