A few things. The entry into the wind was not by accident. If the wind had been different that day we would have entered different. (We would still have had to park the same place as the land we had permission to hunt is landlocked & our only legal entry). Also we did not have permision to be in the big woods left of property line. But for discussion sake; ya'll can pretend...
Also, these were not virgin dogs. The farm had been called before (not sure how latley); not sure of the history but I know there had been no success as of late. They also get shot on sight from the property owner & hand. They had killed one young one & missed two others in the last month that I know.
Laslty, the dogs never came out completley into the open. Each dog only came to the edge (poking out their head) staying inside (there is a wovenwire fence if you look more closely.... they never cam on this side of it). We pulled him out for the pic. Also look behind him to see how thick it is in there. The aerial phot is very deciving (taken in the winter, lots of growth & weeds that are chest high now). The stand was set up to look into this fencline... not the field/pasture.
Keep it coming guys... I'm interested in others opinions/thoughts.
