Thread: Bo

I thought it couldn't hurt to introduce Bo to some gentlemanly hunting so a few evenings now we have taken the 22-250 and parked up on a vantage point in search of a hare. The first Hare I shot with Bo I took him in on the long lead to find. I took a wide berth around where I knew it was and approached from the way I had seen it come hoping he would pick up its trail. Once I knew we were about where it had come I stopped him and got him to focus, eventually I knew he had picked up its trail and I allowed him to show me where to go whilst giving him his newest command "find" .He came off the trail at one point and we stopped and refocused again and eventually he took me right to it. I praised him heaps and gave him a pat, he gave the hare a good working over with his nose and licked some blood from it. I took out my Mercator and took the back steaks and back wheels off and gave him a few little bits of meat and praised him again. One thing I don't want him doing is thinking an animal is "his" and chewing on it willy nilly. This is Bo with his first find.
