Great to see him getting it done!

Wow, that’s amazing!  How great that you gave him the chance to hunt again.  He’s a special dog no doubt !

That's awesome your dog is a true trooper and shows his desire for what he loves to do runs deep.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Love it.  Wish that had been an option for my 4 year old yellow male, had to put him down with cancer in his nose and sinuses.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
