Thread: Hunting

I know here in Vic if you want to use a dog for hunting large game like deer you can only use certain breeds and the dogs have to be tagged and registered during the season.

If it was me I would buy a dog more suited to a hunting dog. A pointer sounds like something you want, we met one when we went deer hunting a couple of years ago this dog went bananas over game and was nice and loud. Something inherent in the breed like baying when they have a scent then bailing it up will be better then a silent tracker. Don't forget your GPS collar if you want to go in the mountains Apart from that, get with a group that already has hunting dogs and try yours out with theirs. Hunters usually train dogs by letting them follow another when they're young so make sure yours is friendly.
