[QUOTE="Panhandle Pete, post: 2847367, member: 107045"] I went on a guided hunt in BC in 1985 flown in to a remote lake with 5 tags for GB- moose- caribou - wolverine & mountain goat. My guide had an Airedale Terrier that was with us for all 10 days of my hunt, the dog could smell a porcupine from hundreds of yards away, he would break and go after them and come back with a face full of quills, it took a long time to pull out quills with small pliers each time. The first time I felt sorry for the dog, after the 3rd the time I thought the breed should be named Air Heads. I did end up taking a mountain goat that soaked up 4 rounds from my 338 Win Mag ( poor bullet selection on my part) the goat rolled down the mountain and the dog quickly beat me to the goat and took ownership of the carcass, when II got there he tried to bite me and jumped up and took my hat off as I bent over to handle the goat, I almost used my belt knife on him. I also shot a nice mountain caribou on that trip and the guide restrained the dog without incidence. [/QUOTE]
