Seeing that in your peripheral is a good safety feature...even if you're 100 percent sure you know where everyone is. All I hunt are cattails for roosters, and they get tall and thick. It's easy to get turned around in that stuff, too. It's way easier to spot orange through all that brown. As for dog snobs, that's probably pointed at guys like me who spend all summer training, then test in the fall and hunt the piss out of their dogs from September through January. Hey, I'm cool with it. But you're more than welcome to pet Remy and Blitz! They're house dogs first and hunting dogs second (despite all the training and hunting every weekend of the season). If dogs aren't sociable with other people, they're useless. At least, IMHO. Oh, and my wife bought me one of them fancy shmancy WingWorks vests for father's day. Spent a pretty penny. But I'll be damned if that's not the most comfortable, convenient shell-water bottle-dog gear-hunting gear-extra clothes-extra crap-hauling contraption ever invented for long hunts. What can I say? In my 31 years of old age, I'm beginning to enjoy the finer things in life.</blockquote>
