[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 118924, member: 1485"] My youngest dog, Blitz, hit a snare two winters ago during a late-season pheasant hunt. We were on unposted private property, so it was definitely my bad. Don't blame the landowner one bit. Remy was getting birdy and I had an eye on him when I suddenly realized I didn't know where Blitz was. We were in typical eastern ND cattails, so it's pretty easy to lose a dog on point. Backtracked a bit and just had a hunch that I needed to take a left down a game trail. Two steps in and there's Blitz. Just sitting there. That's when I realized he had a snare round his neck. Wasn't even tight. He must have felt the tension and just stopped pulling (as has been mentioned is common with leash-trained dogs). But it gave me a serious case of the willies, so I slipped the snare off his neck and we high-tailed it off the property. It was my last hunt of the year...kind of a sour way to end a season.
