Now that I have a dog that will be coming out bird hunting with me this fall I have started to take different precautions and list out things I will need to bring with in case of emergency. These include (but are not limited to): water bottles, pliers, skunk off, liquid bandage cream and other things he might need while in the field.
I have also been familiarizing myself with different snares and traps, watching some youtube clips of body traps and holy shit that would be terrifying if he got into one of those. Some people reccomend bringing along a tool or rope to work on the springs of a Conibear trap also saying they have about 2 minutes to get out before they die. WTF
Has anyone on here had a dog get itself caught in a trap while out hunting? While hunting with my dad and family dogs we have never encountered any sort of trap, snare etc. They have come across porcupines and skunks and plenty barb wire fences
