Spent a few days hunting in Ozona. It’s beautiful, but very tough on the dogs.

Beautiful

Nothing like hunting with a good dog.

Good pics, bet that is hard on the feet of your pups.

I booted them the first day, so they could get a education on cactus without it being to bad. After that just coated their pads, front of legs, and chest with mushers secret. Hunted them every day for 5 days, They navigated the cactus pretty well, unless birds were involved. Carried tweezers and duct tape in my vest. I pulled plenty of cactus spines out of them during hunts. Lucky enough none were in their feet, and they would go right back to hunting.
For it being there first time in this type of terrain, it surprised me on how well they held up.
Around camp they would act a little sore, but as soon as I got ready to hunt again. They sprang back to life, and were ready to roll.

Awesome pics

good friend of mine has a exotic hunt ranch in that area, was invited, but my back said no, great hunts

I really enjoyed being out there. Ran out of days, and still didn’t run the dogs on the entire property.

Cool pics

Rugged country, glad to hear your dogs held up fine!
