Best Hunting Companion

Are Huskies good deer-hunting companions?

Huskies tend to be very friendly and while they can have a high prey drive, that would apply to smaller animals and I don't think to deer. They're not supposed to be dog aggressive in the slightest, so if his dog is she's likely not very well bred anyway, not to mention that his dogs are getting far too little exercise and stimulation and probably (sadly) aren't good for much - even what they are supposed to do, which is pull sleds.

Being closely related to wolves has absolutely nothing to do with treeing coons, as that is to benefit the human and wouldn't do the dog any good at all. As far as Huskies go, I'd really not think they'd be much good at hunting at all - they're not quiet, they'd probably do best in a group instead of alone, the temperament isn't quite right, etc. etc. With careful training *maybe* but it's just not the best bet. Enjoy your dog; your brother sounds jealous.

One of the cool thing about mutts is that, even though they aren't predictable, they can have surprising traits that make them have hidden talents. It's fun to see what they'll be good at and then use that to your advantage :)

Can Siberian huskies be trained to be hunting companions?

By hunting, they mean the dog likes to hunt, strong prey drive. Which usually translates to: the chase things. They are working dogs but not traditionally hunting dogs. The do not tend to be good off lead, and are difficult to train.
They are usually not good dogs for first time owners, becuase they can be challenging to train, high energy, and require a lot of physical and mental stimulation.
If you are set on adopting one I would work with a husky rescue or local musher/breeder to find one who's personality is calm, well socialized, and has some basic training.

If you have not trained dogs before you also might consider enrolling with you new dog in a class, you will learn as much as the dog :) You might have a lot of fun with an agility class, and working dogs tend to be very good at agility and enjoy it. It would be a really fun active way to learn about how to train and work with your husky.

Once you are better a training and working with your dog, you might be able to teach them some skills to make it possible for your dog to join you on adventures. But I am guessing that having a husky off lead as a hunting partner, or trying to get them to somehow help you hunt is not really likely.

In Fallout 4, what would be arguably the best companion to take with you on the main quest in regards to commentary?

It would very much depend on your preferences.From a pure ‘quest-relevant extra dialogue’ perspective:Codsworth is the best companion to take with you to Diamond City. I would have said Preston Garvey, if I hadn't beaten him to death with my map the last time he tried to mark a settlement location on it.Piper Wright is the best person to take with you while you're hunting for Nick Valentine.Nick Valentine is the best person to take with you when you're hunting for Kellogg.Paladin Danse is the best person to take with you if you side with the Brotherhood of Steel.X6-88 is the best person to take with you if you side with the Institute.Deacon is the best person to take with you if you side with the Railroad.If you're not bothered much by extra dialogue, the best companion will depend on either your skills or your banter preference, depending on which one is more important to you. MacCready and Deacon are good for stealth characters, Strong is good as a tank, Cait can unlock doors, Nick can unlock terminals, etc.Different companions also have their own likes and dislikes that will factor into their dispositions, so whether your character is an angel or a dickhead will be important too. Cait and MacCready like selfish and aggressive acts, for example, while Piper and Curie like benevolent and peaceful acts.Strong is the overall best companion, though.I'm joking. It's Deacon.No, it’s Strong.Or Curie?No, Strong. He smashes things and gives you meat. What's not to like?

What hunting companion animals are allowed in the state of Georgia?

The hunting laws, seasons, bag limits, regions, ect are all in an annual guide book that is available where ever licenses or ammunition is sold. It may be available online. Check the booklet for the rules.What animals you are allowed to hunt with dogs or from horse back, depends on the season and region. Pointers and retrievers are used with birds. Coon and boar hunting are the only nonbird traditions with hound dogs. Maybe black bear, but those aren't commonly hunted.Falconery probably requires a permit.I don't think Georgia has rules for using ferrets to hunt rabbits. Cotton tails are hares anyway, so they don't have warrens.

Are Bernese hunting dogs? BeSt AnSweR!!!?

These gentle, cheerful dogs love children. They are very intelligent, easy to train and are natural watchdogs, but not overly aggressive. A friend for life. They are very loyal and may have trouble adjusting to a new owner after they are 18 months old. Self-confident, alert and good-natured. They are fairly friendly with strangers, and are generally good with other pets and dogs. Never sharp or shy. These dogs may by slow to mature, remaining boisterous and puppy-like for quite awhile. The Bernese needs to be with people and not relegated to the backyard or kennel run. Like any dog, the Bernese Mountain Dog should be well socialized as a puppy. These dogs are sensitive and should be trained gently.

Although the exact origins of the Bernese Mountain Dog are unclear, this breed probably began as a farm dog in the Swiss mountains. Paintings from the end of the 18th century show the Bernese type. By the end of the 19th century, however, many foreign dogs were being imported to Switzerland and there was a danger that the native breeds would be lost. Professor Albert Heim, Franz Schertenleib and others led the effort to preserve native Swiss breeds by finding remaining specimens and stabilizing the Berner Sennenhund (Bernese Alpine Herdsman's dog) as a distinct breed. The Bernese Mountain Dog was named after the Berne canton of Switzerland where the breed is widely known. The sturdy Bernese has been used for driving livestock, for draft work and as a farm guardian. Because of his gentle, happy temperament, the Bernese Mountain Dog makes a fine family companion. Its talents are tracking, herding, watchdogging, guarding, search & rescue, carting, and competitive obedience.

Which type of hunting (deer, elk, pheasant, etc) would be best to start with for a beginner hunter?

I would recommend you begin with doves. There are a number of practical reasons, as well as some psychological reasons for this.First, no one goes hunting for the first time by themselves. You pretty much have to go with someone who already has an idea what to do, and importantly, where to do it. Hunting with experienced companions is the best way to learn the ropes, and solve a lot of problems for first-timers, not the least of which is what to do with the game after you bag it. They'll also most likely be well-versed in applicable regulations and other factors that will keep your hunt safe and legal. Dove is the most hunted game animal in North America, and as such, you're more likely to find experienced dove hunters in your local area than any other kind of game.Second, dove hunting is relatively easy, and has a high likelihood of coming home with some game. Failed hunts are frustrating, and by going after tougher game, you increase your chances of failure. The western mourning dove is the most abundant bird in North America, and their large numbers not only increase your chances of a successful hunt this year, they also ensure substantial numbers of birds remain.Third, every hunter has to deal with the psychological aspects of the hunt, of killing animals for food and sport. There are those who would argue that killing an animal-- any animal-- is an act of cruelty, and that all animals' lives are of value. This may or may not be true, but I can assure you that if your first hunting kill were of a large 10 year-old mule deer, or a thousand-pound elk or moose, you would feel very different about it than if it were a year-old dove that weighs 8 ounces. Whatever anyone says about it, it's different. Start small to see if you have a taste for it. Hunting is not for everyone.Finally, dove hunting is fantastic sport. The birds are fast, they're a challenge to shoot, they're excellent eating, easy to clean and cook, and it's generally a very safe hunt. Pretty much anyone who hunts any game in North America also hunts doves, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a group of friends to take you on your first hunt.

Why dogs are such good companions?

Dogs (C. l. familiaris) aren’t tame wolves; they have evolved with and by us to be a species that only exists as a companion to human beings. They are omnivores, like us; as ‘pack’ animals, they fit seamlessly into our families; they share many of our emotions; they can read our expressions and body language. While they are useful in many jobs such as hunting, herding, guarding, etc., their common denominator across breeds is that hanging out with people is their main gig.There is no truer expression than, “Dog is man’s best friend.” It’s true all over the world, the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Antipodes, and at all times throughout history and prehistory: wherever there have been people, there have been dogs. Excavations of prehistoric burial sites have yielded the remains of dogs interred with full honors among their families. Wherever there are dogs, there are people who love them.I live in North America, and I love that when I need a break, I can go on youtube and find videos posted by people all over the world, of their dogs. Even in cultures that hold dogs generally in disrepute (pariah dogs in Asia and Africa, for example, or in devoutly Muslim countries), people all over the world have companion dogs, and everybody who’s got them, loves them.

Can humans survive without a companion?

Let's pretend a human was released into the wild by him/her self. Can he/she survive without ever having a companion? If he/she is to survive 1 year in the wild, will they make it without company? and just pretend they are the best at hunting, and get enough food to last throughout the years but being alone out in the wilderness, will they start crying or going out of control or talking to themselves? I'm talking about both humans and wild animals.

What type/sex of dog would be a good companion for my 6 year old female Vizsla?

We own two Vizslas. One three year old female and one two year old male. Our daughter has a Jack Russell that really gets along well with the big dogs.

I field trial with the male and many of the professionals that have a "string" of hunting dogs will have a small terrier.

It mostly has to do with what you do with your Vizsla. Walks off leash, hunting, show, agility?

If you walk or run then you would want a athletic dog. Why not another Vizsla? I would get a male if the female is fixed. Is your female dominant or passive? Unless you get a pup, you should really spend a couple days with the other dog and your Vizsla to see how they relate.

We had a cocker once which was passive. We rescued another cocker but it was very dominite. It made our older cocker's life miserable and we had to find another home for the rescue cocker.
