Deer season in NH is a couple weeks away. Just curious how others alter their hunting during the big game seasons.

I agree. Actually, I have two dogs but not what you would want in the field (i assume). They are 7 and 8 year old beagles. I haven't even thought to bring them into the field for a couple reasons: 1. They are very timid around the gun and i don't want to freak them out; and 2. I wouldn't...

Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, I agree - I'll probably have to try to time it with the stocking truck. Trying hard not to be one of "those guys" but... On a side note, I, as most of you, am not in it for the actual shooting of the birds. However, I have no problem hunting grouse...
