South Dakota Sojourn

Harold I also have temporarily lost dogs while out hunting. Its a feeling I don't want to experience again.
I can honestly say since I bought my Garmin GPS tracking collar system over 10 years ago I have not had an issue. Last year Scout feel in a deep hole and I found and rescued him. Im not sure I would have located him without the collar.
Just a few weeks ago my young dog Ollie was spooked by a Javelina that chased her. She ran like the devil was after her. I got on the whistle but she would not stop. I watched the handheld as she covered over 900 yards.
Luckily I headed to the top of a hill and was able to tone her and then finally blow the whistle to get her attention and watched as she made her way back.
15 minutes later we were hunting again.
You may have a GPS collar and may not have been using it that day. If not and want to chat about what and how I use it just PM me and I will be happy to share my experience with you or others that may have any questions.

I second the Garmin GPS tracking collar, if I would have had this on my dog while grouse hunting, I feel confident in saying I would not have lost her.
I do use one since and they hold up well except to dog teeth

A good Parker, a good dog, and a good truck, not neccesarily in that order.

I won’t put one of my dogs on the ground without a gps collar on and a functioning handheld.
