All good points though I do like #8 the most.

All good points, #1 is my pet peeve when working my dog with other people.

all good points. I wish number 4 wasn't true. all retrieves come to me so I have to get out of the coffin blind to cover the birds up.

Good list, when hunting with hounds I ask every invitee to carry a lead or at least a rope. Comes in handy when hunt is over or the hound ends up near road traffic and I am not close enough to provide the lead.

Yup, it’s a rule at our camp.

One time one of our guys leaned his rifle against a tree and walked over to put a rope on the big black hound that paused behind the pines. Only it wasn’t the hound…

That would have been hilarious to see, terrifying, but hilarious

An invitation to hunt over other hunting dogs is a privilege, but a little etiquette is required. Here’s a rundown of the dos and don’ts.

-Listen to the dog handler's guidance on where to walk/stand, speed-up/slow-down while hunting and when the pointing breed is on-point or the flusher is getting birdy.
-For safety, when the dog is on-point, don't pre-mount your gun like a trap shooter.
