Buck - This is the name for a male deer. The way that you can tell a male apart from female deer is by the antlers that are atop its head for a period of seven months. Other than this, male and female deer are quite similar in appearance, especially during the remaining five months out of the year when the male is not actively growing his antlers.
Buck Rub - This is the action of a male deer lowering his head so that he can scrape his antlers along a tree. There are two reasons why he may do this, to polish and clear away any velvet, and to prepare for competition during the breeding season.
Buffalo Chips - This is a more politically correct way to refer to droppings from a bison.
Bugle – This is a name for the call that elks make during the period of rut so that they can interest females.
Bull - This is the name that is used to describe male elk.
Bulldog – This is a type of mark that is thrown while a hunting dog is returning from a retrieve. This is also referred to as a diversion. The dog cannot switch birds during this process, which means that he must not drop his first bird that he picked up when becoming distracted by the diversion bird.
Bumper – This is an item that is made out of canvas or plastic and that is typically between 2 inches and 3 inches in diameter. Its purpose is to train a hunting dog in place of a real bird. Bumpers are available to hunters in a wide variety of different types of colors. You can find orange, white, black and half black and white bumpers for example. The color that you choose should be based on the current weather as well as what color is going to be most visible for your hunting dog on that particular day. The orange style of bumpers is typically used for the purpose of blinds. While birds tend to be preferable both for dogs and for humans, the supply can be really limited, and so if you are looking for a viable training alternative, bumpers are a good way to go.
Burn - This is terminology that is used in order to describe correction via e-collar that is continuous, rather than what is known as a Nick, which is a type of momentary or temporary correction. This method of correction is used in order to correct known commands that the dog is intentionally choosing to disregard. This method of correction does not require inflicting any kind of physical harm to the dog in order to get the point across, however.
