On The Joys Of Hunting Solo With Your Dog

 I don’t have many photos of my dog and me hunting alone. Actually, I don’t have any. Right? Think about it.

 

Photos or not, I simply wanted to toss out here that whenever my dog and I hunt without a human companion — and that’s most of the time — I never ever feel alone, let alone “lonely.” I imagine that more than one “dog man” feels exactly the same way.

 

Here’s a few post solo hunt snaps of my buddy Gordie with the day’s bag. You’ll have to take my word on the solo part.

 

 

I went two-for-two that day, a feat I tried to celebrate in the photo. Over time, I have discovered that doggie-hunts-man-shoots is a better division of labor than the converse.
