Coleridge, he didn't show all the misses on running shots, where he dogged me unmercifully,LOL


About those dogs that are buddy-buddy that you mentioned. On one of the farms where I groundhog hunt, there are two yellow labs. Beautiful dogs. They've learned to hark to the gunshot when I shoot a groundhog. They drag off the dead hog and devour it together. Well, recently I shot one at about 250 yds or so with the 17 Ackley Hornet. It was not a fatal shot, but it immobilized the hog. The dogs got there and grabbed the groundhog while it was still alive. They went to fighting over it and the big male decided he would let the little female have the groundhog. As he is trotting away at about 50-60 yds. The little female lab goes to screaming bloody murder. I turn and see the groundhog with his teeth sunk into her face(the lab's), she is screaming and backing up and shaking her head trying to dislodge the pig. It hurts me just looking at it. In a nano of a flash second that male lab was back to her aid, grabbed the groundhog and I heard the bones crunch 25 yards away. They respond out of loyalty as well. He then just turned, once the pig was done for, and simply walked away casually. The female bolted out of there towards the house, looking at me like it was all my fault, and I guess it was. Poor thing.
