Got rid of the last of my dogs after last season. Had some fine ones for last 25 years. All bred and trained by myself. Loved it. Best year we killed over 400. Then each year it got harder and harder to find good land and less time to do it. Now my buddy has the dogs and go with him a couple times after deer season. I have a bird dog that sleeps on the couch with me and it’s a hell of a lot easier taking care of him than 7 beagles. I do miss it though. Especially training puppies. Nothing like hearing a pack of 6 week old puppies open up for the first time chasing a tame rabbit around the yard!
