Yesterday I took my older cur out with my five month old pup. Both had the garmins on so I cut them and let them run for a quick evening hunt. The younger pup was staying with her as she started to range out a little further then usual. When they hit about 500 yards I started to call them back but they had either not heard me or ignored me. The last point said 1.5 and had lost communication with dogs. We were hunting in knobs state forest so I tried to get to the highest point thinking maybe I was a lot lower then they were. I stayed in the woods until midnight with my family but decided to turn back. We went back around 6:30 this morning and the gps had somehow picked them up again. I had to walk back in there over two miles and got to them I still don’t know how the gps picked them up by my family thanked god it did. I just hope other families decide to invest in some sort of tracking system so situations like this don’t become worse. I guess my next purchase will be a tone and shocking system so we don’t have another sleepless night. Let me know if there is anything we can do differently. Any other suggestions on what we could have done would be appreciated.
