Thoughts on taking infant hunting afield

Im not going to try and tell people what to do BUT in my opinion Im not really good with it. ALL TOO LOSE WITH NO GAIN. Its not like a bonding thing and hunting has inherent dangers that go with it. When theyre old enough to remember things then thats worth holding on too. I completely get the wanting to be there but its more about you than them. Be realistic and realize its a BAD IDEA. Im not saying that shxt will go sideways but pretty sure A DINGO ATE MY BABY SHOULD NOT BE ON THE MENU.
 
As I have said before social media has created a whole new generation of idiots doing stupid things then bragging about them to see how many comments they can get ;) definitely the sharpest knife in the drawer :unsure:

I wouldn't take dogs or infants to the range, but clearly there are hunting dogs that go into the field sans hearing protection.... not to compare that to an infant on a social media post.

It's interesting though as dessert spider points out that gun shots are loud enough to cause permanent damage but people exposed to ear damaging levels of noise whether it's industry, war or music suffer the consequences differently.

I've never heard talk of it, but does anyone know if it's common for bird dogs to lose their hearing after being exposed to years of shotgun blasts with no ear protection?

I don’t know about that, but I do know that the military has developed hearing protection for their dogs.

I just watched one of his “hunts with a newborn” and he specifically states that it was time to go get the wife and kid, who are waiting in the car, as they likely heard his shot.

ha- i didnt watch his schit after it was too much to see..... thumbnail rage
but that proves the point about it being more about likes an views than anything

Ya, I can't see what the issue is. They were sitting in a car while he sat at his spot. Didn't watch to the end, but sounded like he dragged the game to the road and then drove down to it with the family to load it in vehicle.

Seemed like a good day and got mom outta the house.
 
Beyond dragging a 5 day old baby to the "field" for a photo-op, imagine dragging your wife out of the house, 5 days postpartum for likes and shares?!?!? What a turd!

Yes, it can damage a bird dog’s ears.

I used to train and run Brittnay’s for hunting.
My main dog Buddy was deaf when he turned 9 or 10.
We actually taught him sign language for commands as his hearing was very poor.
Of course he didn’t sign back. LOL
But he did understand sign language as to come, sit, stay, fetch, and other common commands…..:)

Thanks for the insight Thunderhog,

Training dogs for sign language at the same time they are being trained for verbal commands is valuable even before the time may come when their hearing is compromised.

I'm not sure if "pretentious" is the word I'm looking for or not, but it's gotta be close. So much fake image crafting these days it makes a guy sick.

It's a phase, and it will pass.... it's starting to look like most content will be done by AI agents in the near future, maybe we will all have AI agents that can watch the AI content for us so we can get back to living.... :)

This s h i t is addictive that's for sure.

Oh, I meant fake people, not AI.

Kind of like people who want to look like mud boggers so they stop in 2-4 inches of mud/water, spin and wretch the wheel back and forth to get their truck or Jeep dirty. As opposed to people who drive through such hairy crap terrain, that if the truck stops, the party is over.

I didn't realize that wannabe mud boggers was a thing.... but I don't know much about the mudbooging scene.

I once past a guy on a logging road who instead of going over the river using the bridge, was crossing the river through the water. He was part way on to the gravel bank on the other side and when we were passing him by he just sort of looked at us sheepishly..... not really a smile or wave nothing..... something didn't seem right so I stopped and asked him if he was OK. Only then did he tell us he was stuck!

There were 3 of us in the truck and we were able to push him out easy enough.... It was a good lesson about foolish pride that's for sure.

People are funny, but it turns out quite predictable most of the time.
