You know its time to go back to basics when…

One of things I talk about a lot are the foundation commands and basics.    I have a humours side today so thought I’d post a few “You know it’s time to go back to basics when…”  If you have some humorous ones, please add them in the comments.  Laughs, smiles, chuckles are all good for your soul.

YOU KNOW ITS TIME TO GO BACK TO THE BASICS WHEN…

1.  You let your dog out of the truck to potty as you begin to get dressed and ready to head out for your one day hunt.   You elected NOT to put his tracking/beeper collars on before letting him out of his crate to potty and because he’s well trained, you didn’t bother to put a leash on him.  You put your vest on and turn around.  He’s gone.  After searching into the wee hours of night, you head home.  The next day you get a call that your dog was found miles from where you went hunting yesterday.

2.  Your dog goes for the retrieve and eats it on the way back.

3.   After several days of hunting on your extended trip away from home which took a year or more to plan, you finally  get into birds!  Your dog points, self-relocates, points then jumps in busting 100 wild pheasants that scatter for miles around.  You have to leave that evening to head back home.

4.   You arrive to your favorite upland hunting spot, hours from home, and go through getting yourself and your dog ritual ready only to find that you left your gun beside or on the top of your truck.

5.   you are a model citizen and hunter and for the first time in your life a game warden asks for your license.  You realize at that moment that its on the dresser at home.

That’s it for now…

Give that dog a treat for me and tell ‘em “Dave says good dog!”
