One thing some hunters may have a problem with is delivering the finishing shot alias "coupe the grace". Before any of my tracking I must made it clear that when dog will holding the animal it is only me that will deliver it, unless the circumstances make me change that decision. It can be a tricky stuff - animal and dog in close contact (usually less than a meter), circling around each other and believe me it is better that I shoot my dog by accident than anybody else (seen it happen too many times) and it is a stupid loss of a fine tuned companion that needed 4 or more years for general application. Just for a illustration here a couple of pics (not mine - should get my own photographer one day

) from such occasions (bare in mind that usually situation isn't that clear).

A case of a no-no shot situation, wait for dog to move out of the line

Yup there are three dogs

Use of bullets that hold together well and penetrate straight is a must.
