Smitch is right. Dumpster bears are worse. I worry about canal sails too. Those bills could skewer my hound.

Too many gators out still for me to take a chance
USCDucks do not take your dog to the area where you shot those teal that you posted in the other thread.
They are there. Big ones.
There's not much current at all. Save your dog and walk out to pick up your birds.
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
I wish I had shot video of the 4 footer I watched running on top of the hydrilla chasing a cripple teal last weekend OOS. Coolest thing I've seen in a while. He raced to the teal after we dispatched it, grabbed it and was fixing to eat it, we convinced him otherwise. Our gators are trained to come to gun shots now. Classical conditioning, the sound of a shot means blood in the water which means food.
I'd never hunt a dog for teal season, not worth the risk. If you think you can use a dog and "keep and eye out" for gators, a gator will be on the dog so fast you'll never get your gun up to stop it.
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

There is no way to rescue the dog once a gator gets him. I would not take a dog until the last season.,....not the Thanksgiving season.
Hell no don't let your dog in the water right now.

I've seen some dogs that should be hunted during the early teal season.

as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

X2 canal sails.
Gators stop at one dog
Canal sailfish can make kabobs out of 2 labs and or 4 boykins
I heard that one was lost to a gator the last day of the season on the cooper a good many years ago. Story is that the dog was jumping around in the water while the owner was loading the boat to go home. Gator popped up and grabbed the dog and drug it under. I wasn't there, so I can't attest to the truth of the story.

I would loose my shit if this happened to my dog.
That gator would have ate a 9mm bullet off that dock. If a gator ate my lab I would kill every gator I could before someone stopped me. Nasty overgrown lizards.
If every alligator died tomorrow,I wouldn't blink.
^ yep, knew a big lab named Caddy that got munched, ripped from stem to stern and survived. Almost lost my Chessy on a warm day years ago and know of another lab that was killed on the Canal at the public field. Know of several dogs eaten on Daniel Island as well. I don't like em, nope not one bit. Don't hunt your dog during teal season.

Me and coot nasty were at a cookout at claimers house and saw a gator get the neighbors dog years ago.
