crows and dogs
Permalink  
 


Though they get little or nothing in the way of work on my excursions, I like to take my dogs along when I make my feeble attempts at crow hunting.

I'd like to ask the hunters who actually experience success if dogs running out to retrieve the fallen adversely affects the shoot?

Thanks in advance.

Chuck

Welcome from Mississippi.

 

A few folks take their dogs. Most don't want their dogs close to a wounded crow. Most also leave the crows in the field for added decoys.

My terrier fetches crows often. She is smaller than a fox. If crows coming in see her, they fly down around her screaming. She attracts them, not repel them.

Wounded crows ARE NOT a problem. My 12 pound dog tears them apart. Literally.

Funny you talking about dogs for crows. Years back, back in the mid 1980's there was this spot I used to hunt during the morning up until perhaps noon time.

The owner of the property had a chocolate lab that would always find a way to escape from the house to come out and join me while his master was at work. That lab would retrieve all the crows for me, he'd just pile em up right by my blind.

There was another spot that I hunted in the mornings as well where that owner had a pair of english pointers for hunting quail. One of the pointers would retrieve the dead crows and then root around like a damn hog and push the sandy soil over the top of the dead crows.

Getting back to the chocolate lab, when I got done hunting he would jump right into the cab of my pickup and hitch a ride back to his house. What a great dog!
