Chris,

I punched a hole and put a grommet in my vest near the chest pocket with a Gearkeeper, and tuck it into my vest while hunting. I can't seem to do a watch as it's always under my buttoned sleeve and hard to get to. I seem to just do better looking at the screen and my bell tells me where my dog is most times. I'll probably move to my beeper once my hearing goes, which is imminent since everything else is going : )

Gentlemen, it’s so much easier to have your spouse tote the device.

Before I got a dog, Staci was my "flushing wife" dutifully kicking briar patches and going through brambles. Funny thing....she won't do that nowadays...

Try a lower setting on her collar.

Edgar, I shared your reply with Elaine. She said, “Now that there was funny!”

That's a great idea- thanks!

And I get what you mean about having to pull the darn sleeve up everytime you look at your watch. I have resorted to strapping the watch over my sleeve.

We, too, are bell folks (except when after pheasant in SD) and put them on even when training or roading here in SC. You become so accustomed tp it that it's mostly when the bell stops that it gets your attention. It may help in scattering hogs and coyotes.
