First time I saw he "toothpaste" trick was this year during pheasant season. My brittney disapeared into a brush pile and came out the other side with a rabbit in his mouth. First time that's ever happened (and the thought crossed my mind to give him a swift kick in the rear) but he brought it over, dropped it at my feet and went back to looking for birds. My hunting buddies were hootin and hollerin about how "cool" that was so I just went with it. Rabbit had one tooth mark in it and a broken neck. Hunting partner grabbed the rabbit, shook it towards the ground (to break loose the diaphram) and then squeezed it like a tube of toothpaste. Inards came out, rabbit in the pouch. Whole thing took about 20 seconds. Slickest method I ever saw!
