Praire dog hunting can add a new twist to an old hobby!

By Robert B.

Have you ever considered going praire dog hunting? Well you should! But before you go and get a new prairie dog for hog hunting or anything else, you should at least consider the following:

• Hunting dog names - It's bad luck to hunt with a dog that doesn't have a name. Think of some good names for your hunting dog before you go out into the field.
  
  
• Stamina - Dogs can get tired out in the field, just like people. The best Prairie hunting dogs can run faster and longer than the other breeds without getting as tired.
  
  
• Independence - Make sure you select a dog that you can trust to leave your side and return to you once he's found a hot scent.
  
  
• Pointing ability - How does your rover let you know he's found something? Look for dogs that let you know quietly, so they're not to spook away your prey.
  
  
• Smell - This is the most important characteristic to consider when you go praire dog hunting. Get a dog that can pick up a scent every time!
  
  

Be sure to ask around and see what your friends recommend. Also ask if you can tag along with him and his dog to get a feel for it, you'll be glad you did before you buy your own hunting dog!
