riding in dog box
over the weekend i went on a road trip,drove 2 1/2 hours to hunt. we hunted a few hours and treed 3 coons .
then my female decided she had had enough & wouldn't hunt! it was cold , she got wet & muddy! im thinking the ride down there and the hunting conditions effected her!
has anyone experienced this?

How cold was it?
How cold was the ride down for the dog?
Were there several drops made where dogs got wet then loaded into a cold dog box to move to another spot?
Was the dog in good shape for this hunt?
Any external or internal parasites?
Any tick transmitted diseases?
I’d suspect there perhaps could have been some hypothermia involved.

Just my .2 cents 28 degrees is not that cold. Would look for other reasons for not hunting.

no we normally hunt the same places
28 degrees is really cold down south when you factor in the humidity…
I think you should consider chill factor if the dog box is breezy…
With a lower temperature including chill factor, a dog will burn quite a bit more calories…it is possible she ran out of fuel…

yall have to understand 28 degrees is cold for southern folks, its 29 rite now with a windchil of 19, thats freezing, its all realative, it was 50 degrees yesterday, your talking about a 30 degree difference with the wind chill, animals arent that much different that us when it comes to temp, id say it was deffently the temp, just my opinion.

I don't know how far south you are, but that's very cold below Baton Rouge.

28 degress down your way is incredibly cold coupled with your high humidity. Couple hours hunting, wet, cold in a drafty box if you don't have door covers. perfect recipe for hypothermia..
Not surprised she quit on you.. was needing a warm spot to curl up in.. I'd of quit long before two hours ..
Not sure if dogs experience the same effects of hypothermia as do humans or not. Humans suffering from hypothermia will get sleepy and lethargic the longer it goes on and eventually die if not caught in time.
