Tyler Childers- Take my hounds to Heaven

12/04/2019

So God made a Hound.

God said I need someone brave enough to fight the hurricane force of a bear that won't tree, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone with feet tough enough to run miles in the snow, ice, rocks, and hot sand, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone with a nose able to smell it's quarry while driving down the road, so God made a Hound.
God said I need a companion for the hunter with the desire to wander into the unknown and make it home safe, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone with the grit to bay bears, hogs, c***s, lions, bobcats, coyotes, deer, leopards, and all other beasts of tooth and claw, yet gentle enough to sleep at the foot of the bed, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone with the tenacity to lead the pack into a battle of unknown, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone who will sit and shake and play ball with its handler and provide a meal for the pack and owner in the same day, so God made a Hound.
God said, with a tear in his eye, I need a best friend, for every hunter I created, someone who will walk many miles next to them and share a life many will never know. He said I need someone who will be loyal and loving no matter what the day brought to them, someone who when the time comes, will continue to hunt on in heaven, so God Made A Hound. 🙏🏻💙

Hunting with Dogs

For thousands of years man has trained and bred animals for different purposes. We have used them to carry loads, pull plows and carts, aid in hunting, and even fight in warfare. Prior to the 20th century, with a few aristocratic exceptions, dogs were bred and used to perform work. Whether it was rounding up livestock in the field, protecting the homestead while the owner was away, or aiding in tracking down and retrieval of game animals, they served a purpose.

Somewhere in the 1900s this all began to change, and I believe it was due to the middle class families wanting to elevate their social status. People began breeding and buying dogs for the sole purpose of adding a furry addition to the family. Now I’m not saying that hunters who use dogs don’t treat them like family, but those dogs still have a job to do. It’s just like having kids, you love them, care for them, and when they are old enough, expect them to pull their weight around the house.

Since the animal rights movement began several decades ago, using dogs in the act of hunting has come under fire time and again. They love to throw around veterinary definitions like saying it’s inhumane to engage a dog in the hunt. If you look at the way veterinarians interpret that word, it means to look at it from the animals’ perspective. So, does this dog want to chase that mountain lion up a tree? It sure does! Does the dog want to flush out those birds and then run and retrieve them? Yup. All of their arguments are dismissed by the very word they use to describe their goal.

Like it or not, and we hunters love it, dogs are the descendants of predators. They want to run, hunt, retrieve, and bring quarry back to their pack, which is us. This routine was bred into the dog by evolution before humans even began to domesticate them. All we did was break it down to specifics and attempt to perfect the details. One could almost say we improved their evolution when we domesticated them.

Now one could, and will likely, argue that a lot of injuries occur with lion dogs and bear dogs. The dogs obviously don’t want to be hurt or killed, so that’s where the inhumanity comes from. I would, however, respond by saying a lot more dogs are injured in car accidents because they were sitting in the drivers lap. Many are hit and killed in the street or permanently injured. The worst are the poor dogs that sit on a couch all day so overweight that they get diabetes. I’m pretty sure no dog wants these things to happen to them either, and these happen far more often than hunting injuries.

Anyone who has ever hunted with dogs knows that they are as excited as the hunters are, if not more. When they see you getting your gear together to head out, they completely understand what’s happening. You can see the excitement in their eyes, the way they wag their tail, the pure energy emanating off of them. It truly is an amazing thing to bare witness to. Both the dogs, and the hunter, begin to feed off of each others’ energy. There is no feeling in the world that it compares to.

In my years, I’ve seen a lot of dogs get excited to go for a ride in the truck. I’ve seen them run in circles when you ask them if they want to go for a walk. I have also felt the contentment of a dog laying on the couch next to me. I don’t have anything against people owning dogs as pets in that way. The way a dog reacts however, when it knows you are taking it out to the field to do what it was naturally designed to do, is far and away more exciting than any of the other situation.

I think people lose sight of the fact that dogs are instinctually predators. I mean, more than half the population of the United States has probably never identified themselves as a predator unless they hunt, trap, or fish. Like it or not, that is our history and evolution.
