Why do you hunt with dogs?

I like hunting anything with dogs and if I can't use a dog I really don't care that much about it. Over the years I have raised and trained labs for ducks and geese. Squirrel dogs for squirrel. I have hunted coons and deer with hounds.

One time I started adding up the number of bird dogs I have personally owned and quit after I got to 200. I had some big leases and put in lots of miles hunting, training, and trialing. It is expensive and when my boy started college I had to sell out most of my dogs and equipment.

The quail are just about gone and I just quit them. One time per year I go to South Dakota hunting pheasant, grouse, prairie chicken, and huns.

This good friend of mine kept trying to get me to go hog hunting with him but I had heard all of the stories and was hesitant to go. Anyway, I went and that trip cost me alot of money. It was like crack or herione would be I guess because I was hooked big time.

I had nothing to hunt with but a desire. Within 2 weeks I bought a 4 wheeler and a dog. Hunting with another guys dog is like kissing your sister. That is all I have been doing for the last 14 years.
