Steve, If you shoot porkies in front of your dog it could make them start hunting them. A trapper friend of mine caught one for me once. Too hot to hunt, so porkie trained. Put the trap in a bush and put the dog on a check cord. The second they caught scent, I fried them.....and wasnt nice about it. The second day, they caught scent, same thing. 3rd day they caught scent, they shied away and didnt want anything to do with porcupines. Porkies are nothing to fool with for a dog. Quills can work their way to vital organs and the dog may die. Ive seen it. Bad deal.

Socialism is almost the worst.
