A large hunting dog, on a leash, that wants to take off after game is not just a hassle, its potentially very dangerous. I've dealt with a few very stubborn coon dogs who didnt want to cooperate. Those dogs led to some pretty bad slips and falls, and a few scars. Not something I'd want to deal with when out alone, just incase something happened.
