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.Gary
How about cats?
Quote from: Moose Master on November 09, 2021, 05:40:54 PMHow 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.
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.
"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 outRepeat as necessary
I wouldn't hesitate to bring my dogs to an elk camp, but I would also never leave them unattended nor let them disturb the camps nearby. In other words, +1 for this being an owner problem and not a dog problem. [Also rest assured if you poison my dog I will leverage every means necessary to make sure you never do it to anyone again].
My Chesapeake goes to deer camp every year, and so did her mom before her. It’s awesome. Couldn’t imagine it without her. Guards the fort when we are gone, goes about 30 yards out the wall tent to meet whoever is driving in and knows instantly if they don’t belong(if you’re that close to the tent and not in our camp you have no business being there in the first place). Keeps my feet and legs warm at night. Doesn’t bark, wine, cry. Always happy and in a good mood (unless you don’t belong which is also great). Great for everyone’s moral, she’s everyone in camps buddy. Poops in the brush like she’s trained to. Doesn’t drift off(not that there’s any other camps around). Guards the fort straight up and all the valuables left unattended when we are gone. I’m a huge advocate for great dogs in camp. The only downside is she snores a little..
I bring my dogs to my camp, I or them are not there to please you. This year I layed in bed and listened to generators, loud trucks, side x sides unloading at 4:00am, drunk guys around a fire till 11:00. “Careful who you point fingers at because 5 more are point back at you”. My dogs also alerted me at 1:00am, look outside and 2 guys were setting up camp quietly and respectful but if they didn’t hear them it easily could have been someone looking through my camp. My dogs also aren’t unattended the whole time.
