Re: Turkey

I would check out your local laws some states don't allow you to have a dog with you when turkey hunting. some states it is ok to use a dog for fall turkey hunting. but i would't want to be caught by the DNR and plead ignorance, they don't care if you didn't know or not.

No a 10-20 min hold is not realistic or practical in a hunting situation but from training/obedience stand point i was told the lo...
