Thanks Dave, we ought to do that. I often go to the big flea market in Rogers, the wife likes to go there. Kenny Graft( SXS Ohio) has a great little gun shop less than a half hour from you, this side of the Pa. line. You would enjoy meeting Kenny, and he has alot of nice Parkers to ogle, his gun shop is "Shooting Stars".

Yes, I've been to Kenny's shop. Great set-up and a terrific assortment of guns there.

Let me know of any future visits to the Rogers Sale, and we could possibly use that as an excuse to get together.

Dave

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

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.

You can’t go wrong with a Garmin. I have two different collars (one big one smaller) along with the handheld receiver. I don’t know the numbers offhand but I simply won’t hunt without them. I too have lost dogs and there is no way to describe the angst I felt until they were recovered. We have a lot of very tall prairie grass and cat tails around here and the Garmin system is invaluable.

Going to go look at the Garmin 200i. There is a huge Cabelas 10 miles away, will look at them there, may use my accumulated Cabelas pts on it. Will have one and know how to use it by next season. I like the 200i's emergency locator ability if I have a problem and need to summon help.

You will NOT be sorry. And Garmin customer service and support is absolutely outstanding especially for the technologically challenged like me. I have trouble with batteries and flashlights. Really.
