This is what I do too. My male is so straight that the other night a buddy of mine saw a possum and wanted to shoot it out. Right as he shot my male ran up to us and heard the shot and heard something hit thae ground. Since he wasn't tied back he knows this means go get it. But when he ran in close he got one whiff of it and turned around and ran off to go hunt. He used to tree possums so it works good. But if you can't use a shock collar that won't work. I definitely wouldn't shoot it out to the dog though.

Hunting is one of those pleasures that you won't understand if you have to have it explained, which is good because folks who enjoy it can't fully explain why. -Ron Spomer
