Ok, so I carry four 32 oz bottles of water while hunting my pointers. Two of my dogs I think are part fish they drink so much. Just wondering what y'all do.

Never a problem while hunting from my UTV. Big tank. Depends when walking. Love to hunt from one water hole to another.

I carry one 32oz bottle. Since I’m walking, that’s enough. I’m headed back to the buggy in an hour or less, depending on temp. I carry 15 gallons on the buggy.

Same here. About 15 gallons on board the mule plus we always have a case of cheap bottled water up on the back storage rack so we each usually have two in our vests for when we are away from the mule.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I am really bad at it. I don't bring enough and when we get back to the truck she drinks way too much. Usually about a mile down the road she throws up all over inside my truck. Some day I will learn to water her more while hunting and not as much at the end of each field.

I carry a small Ozark Trail cooler full of water. Get to truck, open and let them drink. Close it up and move on. Always plenty and don't have to have a bowl. In the field, I carry a 32oz bottle for both me and the dogs. Just squirt it in their mouth.

I hunt off a mule rig and usually carry 7 dogs. I carry 6 gallons. That has always been enough for a morning or evening hunt in west Texas. Might take more down south.

Depends on the weather and where we are hunting. In warmer weather, where there are not stock tanks or a river\stream on the property, I may carry a gallon jug in the back of my vest for two dogs. In cold weather, maybe two 16 oz bottles
We all need to practice Whoa more.
