Hunting- a sport that seems a wild and cruel to large no.of people beside which many among the crowd take it only as a sport. The wounded deer hunting no doubt is very attention requiring work as a simple and minute blunder can result in a big loss hence, for this man-made the use of his best friend-a dog. YES in various circumstances dog has proved itself to be man’s best friend and the same is the case of hunting. It has shown its skills brilliantly to help up the hunters as well.

Hunters have various tricks, but one of the oldest trick is to have a dog as a hunting partner.

There are 30 well-recognize sporting breeds, according to the American Kennel Club, and many dogs—of any of the other breed!—can be taught the essentials to be a perfect hunting companion but a general question that would arise in your mind would be:

• When did hunters start using dogs?

• TYPES OF DOGS

  According to today’s hunting, dogs fall into three main categories, with a no. of breeds belonging to each category based on the appearance and abilities of dogs.

  • Terriers

  Terriers are small dogs that are used to hunt small game, such as birds or rabbits, or maybe to track the wounded large animals such as deer. These dogs are still common hunting partners in various parts of the world, but they have largely become house pets in the U.S. Examples include Airedales, Jack Russell terriers.

  • Gun Dogs

  Its  job is to pursue game animals that are hidden. They are able to detect a prey animal’s scent in the air at closer range, will flush birds and small game, and some retrieve downed animals also. Gun dogs are mostly useful when hunting upland and wetland game, birds, and small mammals. Examples include Labrador retrievers, English pointers.

  • Hounds

  A hound is trained to be built for stamina, as its job is to chase and run behind game black-and-tan coonhound and foxhound. They mostly have loud barks and perfect noses. Some are specialized in treeing game such as squirrels until their hunter arrives. Hounds excel at hunting deer, coyote, wild boar. Examples include the mountain cur

Not trying to assign a "monthly" read schedule to each book because everyone is at such different places in the series.  Joining will collect member posts and reviews in one place even if not using the discussion threads.

Review:

"Just A Kiss" by Denise Hunter

My Thoughts......

"Just A Kiss" was the third beautifully written 'Summer Harbor Series' featuring Riley Callahan and Paige Warren. I loved how this author was able to present to us such a interesting intriguing read that will hold your attention all the way to the very end. The way these two finally got together was truly a work of art and the funny thing about it all ... both had feelings for each other at one time or another for each other. This will be quite a 'emotional journey' as well as a lots of drama for these two to finally see the writing on the wall. I did also like the way the Christian aspect comes into the read. I wasn't sure I understood how Riley's PTSD was dealt with after he came back home but I guess it comes out OK in the end. It was true that he needed some help [therapy] and it was only when he saw that he need help will he get it before it's too late for him and Paige? Will these two get their HEA? This is the time that I will say you will have to pick up this good read to see for yourself how this author brings it all out to the readers. With Riley and Paige being friends very early on was definitely a plus for these two main characters. Add to that all the help from the secondary characters....[Beau, Zac, Aunt Trudy, Lucy] to name a few it seemed to be help all around that was there all was needed was to be asked. I found the characters for the most part well developed, portrayed, believable that help gives the reader a well told story. I felt that this was quite a touching story after all was said and done. This is a standalone read but I wished that I had read the first two series to have found out what all had happened earlier in the stories of the rest of the Callahan brothers.
