So, I'm confused do you lick the stick before or after? Just want to make sure I give good directions for my hunting buddy>

On a serious note uglydog and a few others hit the nail on the head. Let that dog out first and load him last after everything else is loaded. That should help greatly, I have heard the small box theory too. But I proved it wrong as well, wadded my 130lb CD in a cramped alum birddog box with same results. Some dogs are just too exited and cant hold their mud I guess...
