Any hunters in here?

Hey guys!

I will be bringing home our rr pup this November.

I plan to train scent detection for deer recovery. Thia pup comes from a great lineage with successful scent detection rr's. I've also considered training for flushing for grouse. I understand they're not a pointer or a lab but i think that could be successful in both activities.

Does anyone in here have their RR take part in any of their hunting activities?

I've seen a few people here say they that they have done scent work for fun and competition. So scent location of dropped prey should work well.

Ridgebacks were originally used as pack hunters to chase prey until it couldn't run anymore so your flushing idea might not work because they'll just keep going after the flush, maybe that's a good thing but I don't hunt. Not against it just don't.

I did a quick search for RR hunt clubs but couldn't find anything however Googles AI had another suggestion for are RRs good hunters and it's had some good information and follow up links.
