Hunting Glossary Continued

huntingChoke Collar -This is a collar that is made out of leather or chain, and that is applied to the dog’s neck in such a way that the collar can be loosened or tightened based on how much tension is exerted by the owner’s hand.

Clips (E-Clips) - These are designed to hold the axles in place.

Cold – This is a term that is used to describe a dog’s running on a concept that it has become familiar with, but the item’s exact placement is something that is new to the particular dog.

Collar Conditioning - This is a type of conditioning through which a dog is taught to turn off stimulation from the collar.

Columbian Black Tail – This is a type of deer that can be found all along the Pacific Coast between British Columbia and California.

Conditioning - This is a method of learning based on experience. For example, bucks have been conditioned to only be active in the nighttime during the hunting season. They have learned that there is only a little bit of pressure during the darkness in comparison to the daylight.

Confirmation – This term is used to describe standards on how dogs should look based on their breed, as confirmation determines how close the dog is to these set standards. For example, the standard coat colors for a Labrador Retriever are yellow, black and chocolate only.

Conformation - This is a term that is used to describe the form or the structure and the arrangement of parts conforming to a breed’s standards.

Coniferous Tree - These are trees that bear cones. The trees never lose their leaves during the fall, and what this means is that they are an excellent source of food for many deer during the winter months. A well known example for coniferous trees is the common pine tree.

Controlled Break – This term describes the situation when a dog goes out before it is sent, and has to be immediately brought under the control of the handler, but without any use of force or pressure.

Cover – This is a term that is used to describe grass and vegetation and other types of environments that can conceal a bird from a hunting dog on land or in the water.

Cover Scents - This is a scent that is used to cover up a human during hunting so that their natural scent cannot be detected.

Cow – This is a term that is used to describe a female elk.

Creep - This describes the situation when the arrow is moving away from the wall, or it describes the anchor point while you are aiming and preparing to release.
