Ha! I wanna Turbo!

Steven, I think you missed your calling with the little dogs. Much cheaper to feed too.

I'm kinda amazed.

In our state feeding any hunted wild game to a dog is illegal period. Well that and squirrels here are a protected species.

Really?....That sucks! What state? Hope its not mine.

1/2 my dogs food is wild.

Hahahahaha

mine HAVE cought squrreles before, and wild rabbits, and i let them eat it. It thouroughly disgusted my hiking partners.

On an even grosser note-my guys were running in the woods-and they disappeared. They come back covered in blood. Then they take off again. Then they come back-and leave again, so i followed them.

They found an already dead deer. A very large deer. They tucked in. I mean, straight up wolf style. When i would get closer, they all backed away to "let me eat", (or just poke at it), then i gave them the "that's all" and they went right back to eating.

It was awesome! And gross. I made them rinse off in the creek.

Washington. The dept of fish and wildlife here has the right to shoot your dog and fine you for your dog in pursuit of wildlife which is a crime here. Even hounds are not permitted to chase cougar, bear, or raccoon as of a few years ago.

It's also in the regs that it's illegal to feed any wildlife to dogs.

Wonder if it taste like chicken ? It looks kind of tough & chewy though...
and OK I can see the Lady & the Tramp analogy ~
I would have never imagined gut "noodles" to be that long. He seemed to enjoy them though !!!!

Just a Tip ~ I wouldn't be accepting and doggy kisses for while after that meal !!!!

Part of the hide about half way through the meal gave him fits for a while. It was about the time he shook it in the video. So yes, it was tough.

I wish I had whole prey for every day. All that rippin' and tearin' has got to be satisfying to a carnivore. Plus think of the flossing that his teeth got during that meal.

I believe I'll take your tip to heart. :laugh:

I put a bad shot on a doe this year with my bow. Some friends and I looked for 6 hours. We followed a blood trail for over a 1/4 mile and then it just stopped. No more sign at all.

I went back the next morning with Turbo. I have tried tracking with him before, but was having trouble getting him to follow a line. Either he has no line sense what-so-ever or I just suck at training.(probably the latter) However, he is pretty good at air-scenting IMO.

I started him at the beginning and he actually tracked up to the first wound bed. He was very interested in it and wanted to stay and lick it up. Couldn't get much out of him after that.

I went to where we lost blood and headed to where I thought she was going. After walking around for about an hour Turbo found another wound bed about a 1/4 mile from last blood. I couldn't believe he found it in the middle of nowhere. Tons of praise. Realizing what he did we walked farther downwind of the suspected area she went. You could tell he got it in his nose and he took off. He went about 50 yards straight to my doe.

He was doing his best to break the skin and get to some of that good smellin' stuff. Goin' at the back end of the deer "wolf style" like you said. I don't think I have ever praised a dog that much. He wasn't really sure what to think, but he knew he did something good.

that IS exciting I'll bet that gets him hooked, I wish we had real woods around here, all there is is sagebrush and yucca....and cactus.
