[QUOTE="Montana'eer, post: 2648935, member: 113417"] Generally I don’t kill them when my bird dogs bump them and get quilled. Like my girl a few weeks ago- she was ‘on point’. I suspected a porky was in there and by the time I could see it I crossed the plane of her nose. She pounced on it. Normally I would NOT shoot in that scenario- try to remove the yipping dog away from the porky and remove the quills. When you do shoot a porky in that scenario you could reinforce to the dog that’s what you’re hunting. They associate that gunshot with game their supposed to hunt. I don’t want that. Same deal training a pointing dog- if they rush in you don’t shoot- No bird. You want them to hold. Porkys are just part of the hazards. And I say I’ll take a quilled dog over a snake bit one any day. [/QUOTE]
