I am certain they are here in Arizona, two years ago I picked up a fresh road-killed female and turned it over to AZGFD. I was so intrigued with it that I approached within 50 yards before I started lobbing rocks at it to make sure of it's demise.The officer cautioned me that it was not legal for me to do so since I had not hit it myself, but he thanked me for providing a possible decoy for their anti-poacher stakeouts...*grin*

It really depends on manufacturer of firearm, choice of game, expected range,powder type and load, etc. for instance, I have achieved better grouping at 200 yds using a thompsoon center "mag express sabot" and hornady 240 grain xtp hollowpoint jacketed bullets in .430 diameter over 100 grains of pyrodex pellet in my 209x50 magnum Thompson center encore. Working with the load and bullet, I found the sweet spot after experimenting at the range while keeping within the recommended factory specs. Conical bullets generally will group a whole lot nicer than round ball, and you will find that loose black powder will shoot with more velocity than equal weight of pyrodex, but fouls your barrel more easily. Sabots will give greater muzzle velocity (at least the way I use them) due to decreasing the weight of the bullet. Keep in mind that after a point, your accuracy will decrease when you add more powder charge on a particular bullet. Therefore I shoot three round groups using the same type bullet, keeping copious notes , while increasing the powder charge toward the max recommended load.

I'm a fellow husker fan, grew up in Crawford in the northwest corner of the state. The way I did training for my son's lab is as follows: We took the dog with us to the trap range frequently to get her used to the noise. We took her out in the sticks and had her heel while we located coveys, then we threw a rock into the brush to act upon her natural retrieve instincts while saying "get em outta there". This worked like a charm. I consider myself fortunate since this was so easy for us. All dogs have their own hangups, and talents. During our first hunt, she even retrieved a bird we had not shot! She's a natural, but not without faults.
I'm afraid I do not understand the question.
