The Benefits Of Raising A Dog Inside The Home
Over the years, I have often been asked by my clients if their hunting dogs should be raised and kept inside or outside of the home or what's my opinion on where they are kept. Some have the theory that if they live indoors, dogs won’t be tough enough when they are out hunting in the fields and in cold water.
In short, my answer is “inside.” There are many reasons I believe a dog should be raised and kept inside the home. When a dog lives inside a home, a stronger bond is made between the dog and the owner, the dog learns more, and it is overall more comfortable.
To be clear, having a dog spend time in a kennel or crate is a good thing. It assists in teaching them patience, routine, housebreaking and allows them to get used to their alone time. A dog should be comfortable staying in a kennel or crate when the owner is at work or when the dog is unattended. Most dogs actually enjoy going into their crates at certain times. Crates should just not be places dogs live or stay in 24/7.

Tail feathers - STANDARDS AND PRACTICES
\"An armed society is a polite society,\" the NRA says in one of its dicta, cribbed from Robert A. Heinlein, a 20th-century American science fiction writer.
Day's End - IN PRAISE OF FENCEROWS
Driving north along the Hudson River, I gazed at a pastoral autumn scene: sere fields of faded yellow harvested corn, stubbly and broken amongst the clods of black earth, almost smooth from my vantage point. Spiky brown veins of wild growth marked barriers between plots. Occasionally, the gray bones of a mature oak rose among the brown shrubs to stand over the yellow fields. A sentry, keeping silent watch as white frost crystals slowly melted into invisibility.
That Time of Year Again
Without doubt. The most idyllic form of hunting in Ohio is seeking the woodcock. - Merrill Gilfallan, Moods of the Ohio Moons: An Outdoorsman's Almanac (1991)
I Don't Wanna'!
I'm an old hand at being retired, though - have been practicing for 25 years.
Hunting the Huns: Alberta's Big Sky Country
The prairies of southern Alberta are vast, beautiful and full of prime bird habitat. Crop fields are interspersed with abandoned farms, rolling hills are intersected by coulees and creek beds, and Hungarian partridge and sharptailed grouse occupy some of the best and most picturesque habitat on the continent.
Side Dish - End of Season
Sporting trips are not only about sport, as many other experiences are discovered alongside. And my trip to Lakewood Camps in Maine was certainly just that.
AN EXTENDED STAY
There is no reason to leave Michigan in the fall unless the opportunity of a cast and blast adventure at a historic sporting lodge in Maine comes calling.
KEEP IT HANDY
If you think shooting a ruffed grouse on the wing with a shotgun is tough, try shooting one in flight with a still camera.
A Longtime Love Affair
It's possible to hunt your favorite birds in a lot of different places, I suppose, but I don't do that.
