Jed

Well, here we go again. Be the first to post the correct well-known saying and be the contest winner!
Here's a story about a man named Jed, a poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed. He had a big old dog named Duke who was a hunting dog with a bad habit. He would take off on the trail of a critter, then lose the scent of it, but continue to take Jed on a hike, ending up with Jed lost and no game for Jed to shoot for food! Old Duke would hightail it for home and hide until Jed forgot about it. One time, however, Duke was so tired that he took a nap while Jed was still coming back from yet another trip where Duke took Jed on another wild goose chase. When Jed got home, he spotted the napping dog and snuck up behind him and scared the dog so badly that he jumped up and bit Jed on the hand. Granny, who lived with him said, "I told you, Jed, it's best to let ????? ???? ?????!"
Fill in the question marks with the correct letters and post the answer. You could be the winner of the second Cliche Contest.
