Honest to god ,last year while grouse hunting on public land in Pa I saw posters at several locations stating "lost garmin astro collar,Reward". I am guessing a dog had slipped it , I had to laugh a little and keep moving. I know its not funny, and I did keep an an eye out for it.

OK John - that is funny - maybe it had a dead battery

[John Taddeo]

I am sure it did and I did keep an eye out . I know they aren't cheap, but it was just the ironic thought of it. I shouldn't poke fun because it will happen to me next.

I did see several of these, so I assume if someone took the time they are serious (look at the contact) Naw... Could it really be.

Several years ago my transmitter, shown in the photo, dropped out of my holster. I found it when I spied the lime green reflective material. My collars, as can be seen, also are adorned with the material.

I discussed with a rep from TriTronics why the company made all of their collars in black plastic. I told him that because of the color they were difficult to find if dropped or lost in the grouse woods. It meant another complete set had to be purchased because the color made it impossible to find the lost unit.

The rep smiled and said nothing. An "AHA" moment had arrived.

Glad you got her back, know exactly what you were feeling.

I know the terrible feeling of a lost dog and the joy of reunion. I spent a very long night driving east texas roads yelling for a lost dog. Finally found her 3 miles from where we were seperated. She was peeking around a tree trying to see who was yelling her name. Like you it took a little while to convince her I was her dad. Dogs are weird.

Thanks Brent for the reply--love your avatar. On our last grouse hunt of the season, Betty, the dog that got lost, pulled up into a hard point. My male dog instantly backed her. Imoved around them and finally spoted an opossum on the ground in front of her. She has always pointed 'possums.
I did buy a Dogtra 2500 remote beeper/training collar and it seems to work well.
