Thank you FF.
I cant stand water fowling with a dog. The look on some peoples face when you tell them you duck hunt but don't have a dog...
Field hunting is an even bigger waste of time. Then tryn travel with them guys, gotta feed'em, letem out blah blah blah. Then you gotta find a pet friendly place to stay.
I only hunt locally with one guy that has a dog and his is a machine/robot. Listens and retrieves to a T. Doesn't jump all over or piss on any thing. But best of all it doesn't constantly whine.
