Dogs in Elk Camp

[GASoline71]

I don't bring dogs to a hunting camp.  Never have, never will. 

If your large dog incessantly barks while you're gone from your camp hunting.  Or if your dog CONSTANTLY strays into neighboring camps and drops deuces, and is just a pain in the arse.  Do everyone in the elk woods a favor and just please leave the friggin' animal at home.

Super frustrating this year to have a new camp next to us that their dogs really were a pain.

  Had a buddy bring one once. Never again.

How about cats?

I used to bring my Doberman to camp, he never barked, never left my side.
When I went into the bush he stayed in the truck.

I hear ya, but, thats not a dog problem.......its the owners problem....and a lack of proper training. Some folks just should not own dogs.

How about cats?

My Brother in Law actually brought a cat to elk camp this year down in the Blues. They have a new young barn cat that snuck into his camp trailer while he was loading it. Needless to say he was pretty surprised when he discovered the stowaway. Luckily his hunting buddy made a trip home for Halloween and was able to return the cat after two nights.

All about the dog owner, if well behaved and under control can be a pleasure in camp. We had  a Black Lab that was a real asset in camp when hunting Montana and Idaho-always knew when the bears would come by at night. In other camps they have been a pain- back to owner....

I have not brought one to camp, but I am tempted with all the people stealing stuff out of rigs or out of camps.  Might help keep that thief away.

I would think a cat in camp would sure keep the mice down! Would have to be a good cat though, to stick around.

My brothers wall tent got completely ransacked by a dog at elk camp this year! I mean ransacked. That dog was hungry!!

Unless they steal the dog, too.

"Super frustrating this year to have a new camp next to us that their dogs really were a pain."

1) Go to the legal pot shop and purchase some brownies.
2) Leave enough of them on the table in your camp to take a good size black bear on a trip to Haight Asbury
3) Watch and shake your head from side to side sympathetically when they return to camp and lift dogs into their rig before heading off to the animal emergency
4) Upon their return, listen and try to keep a straight face as they complain about the $1,500 per dog they had to pay up front to get the dogs admitted for whatever it was that the animal emergency was no help in getting sorted out

Repeat as necessary

That would pretty much be the definition of “dick move”.

I would bet you set up a ghost camp as well...

...and here we go.

I would have no problem bringing my dogs to elk camp because they are well behaved but I just don't see the need. Since I leave camp before daylight and am back after dark, they are happier at home than being cooped up in my tent or trailer all day
