Ransom Canyon, Texas. Recorded from the Llano Estacado, Steven Rinella talks with hunting dog experts Ronny Boehme and Ed Arnett, along with MeatEater producer Janis Putelis. Subjects discussed: the best all-around hunting dog; whether guys who hunt with dogs like dogs more than hunting; Steve's three very different experiences hunting wild pigs with dogs in Hawaii, New Zealand, and Florida; "rescuing" a dog vs. just going to the pound and getting one; the legality and ethics of trailing a wounded big game animal with a dog; Faith Hill; the experience of getting licked by a dog who just ate the unmentionable; the bare minimum of time to put into a dog to ever expect to have a hunting dog that isn't going to embarrass you in the field; marked vs. blind retrieves; and how finding the right dog is like finding the right wife (or husband, for you ladies.)
