thanks Brett and double lab,
That first year I was so anxious hunting with cash. He found porcupines, and a skunk, and we lost him one time. I really think we both just learned to hunt with each other. He learned what I needed from him and in turn I let him hunt farther out. I try to make a habit of doing a short hunt in one area, then go to another so going back to the truck is not such a bad deal for him. Sometimes I give him a treat when we get back in the truck too. My wife to my surprise just got him groomed last week, I didn't know if that was such a good idea because of how cold its getting and the extra layer of fur would keep him warmer. He was looking really fuzzy though. I took a couple of pictures and he sure looks slim and hard now. That area is about 160 acres, when I take a loop, I try to go in a slightly different area each time. I will try to post a couple pics of cash with his new haircut.
