Dogs and Blinds

[JPowell]

I am just wondering what you guys seem to like better when hunting out of a blind. I have a Ground Force blind that my dog uses but i have also taught him to go into my Finisher and lay behind the head rest. What do you guys perfer or what have you found to work the best for consealment? Do you think that the Ground Force blind gives your location out to much? any feed back would be appreciated.

a dog that cannot sit still will give away your hide long before a ground force lo pro dog blind will. I've had no problems hunting with friends who heel their dogs to sit right behind the blind. as long as they sit still its no big deal. i actually prefer that method sometimes when stubble is sparce in a field to try hiding a dog blind with.

as far as a dog in the blind goes; that's an absolute NO GO for anybody i hunt with. too many things can go wrong. at the least you could ring your dogs ears, at worst the dog tries to break and either forces you to move in an unsafe manner with a gun in your hands or worse yet if it breaks infront of another blind while that hunter is shooting at a low bird.

a couple of guys I have hunted with use a small blind or they have had the dog under a decoy and I think that that works awsome.

I have seen guys with dogs in there blind with them and have mixed revews on it. I guess it comes down to how well manarded is your dog.
