Where in the state are you? I'm centrally located. I lost Ike as a year old pup in the U.P. for a couple of hours last fall. I experienced the trifecta of errors as my hearing aid batteries dies, the collar batteries died as well and the wind was blowing about 25 MPH with horizontal snow! I'd have given anything right then for a GPS collar.
I'm just returning from three days in Georgia hunting quail and I didn't use a bell but thats a whole different game compared to grouse hunting. We will have a new collar for this fall.
