Hey Harold, I had an experience a few years ago while Grouse hunting near lake Arthur in Butler County Pa where a landowner refused me permission to his property and asked me to leave while trying to locate my dog (things started to get ugly quickly). The situation ended well though it prompted me to go with a GPS and a little piece of mind to make my hunting trips more enjoyable. The one thing I did do last year to make things a little more streamlined was to pair the Garmin 200I to a Garmin wristwatch (I wear the watch while hunting anyway). Now the GPS pretty much stays tucked away in the jacket, and I can glance at my watch anytime I need to know where my dog is.
