What was it like to work with a baying dog?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Working with a baying dog is quite different than hunting with any other dog. We have probably hunted like that since the stone age, and the relation between the hunter and his dog is very strong. These days, the dogs are fitted with a GPS to track their movements and help the hunters locate the barking. Once it\u2019s located, you start stalking until you are within range, using the sound of the barks to camouflage your steps. Once the moose gets a notion of the hunters, it will quickly run off with the dog unable to stop it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you prepare for the moose hunt?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I try to be prepared by going through three simple steps. The first one is to prepare yourself mentally. Being mentally ready is incredibly important if you want to have great trip, no matter where you go. The second way to prepare is to practice extensively with your weapon. On a hunt like this, you might only have a small window of opportunity. The third one is to get in shape physically. Remember that every step you take in the weeks prior to your hunt will make the whole trip so much more enjoyable. So start exercising now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
