dang you guys been busy today, ha. ok i hope nobody takes this post wrong, i am not wanting to fight or bad mouth anyone.
jglynn, you asked for video to back it up, well i have carried a camera some and got alittle video, none of it worth putting on cause i cant run a camera and my dogs dont do much but i know of three guys that have posted in this thread that have abunch that very few people will ever see. i have the upmost respect for guys that can run a camera and hunt. i also know of quite afew guys that dont have any video of their dogs and their dogs are the best i have ever seen, and i'm not talking one dog, i'm talking about guys that have super dogs time after time, i'm just saying a person dont have to have video of their dogs to have good dogs. i hunted with a guy two days ago that has been useing a decoy dogs since before most of us were born and he cant ever turn a computer on, i know he dont have any video, ha, and he has great dogs.
i know everyone gets worked up over these threads going in every direction but thats the way every conversation i ever been in does.
i know fred comes on hard but i also know some guys that hunt with him and they say fred is as good a hunter as you can find and thats coming from guys i trust, heck i come off as a jerk in person so i know i must do the same on here, but i think we both will tell it like we see it and thats what i like about fred.
randy and doc, thanks for the compliments.
and this one is for anyone who has or wants a decoy dog, they are not a super tool, will they help, at times yes and at times no, they are just another tool in the box, they can be fun and can help you but the main thing with a dog is time, you got to put time into them, spend as much time as you can on them cause the greatest dog in the world wasnt born that way, somebody put some hours into him, then go have fun with them
