You know it. The dogs are roaring to go. they are getting a little heavier then they should be. They have had too long of a break. Seeing any bear yet this spring?

What do you mean road em? My term of roading them would be to let them go in front of your and wait till they hit a track? What part of wisconsin you from?

We hunt in Forest county. The wolf population is slowly growing around us. Not as bad as just north of us. We havent lost any dogs to wolves recently.

Hey bud, you might want to modify this statement. You can't bait until April 15th. Just trying to save you a headache.
