I know several of you hunt with dogs.
Do you have GPS on them, in case they get away from you?

Since loosing Lamont once at the property once, and now him being deaf, I want to put a GPS on him.
Any suggestions? Thanks

HA....you might get an untrained yard dog for that kinda money....but, if you want a great hunting dog, that's already trained, you better be prepared to knock the cobwebs off that secret compartment in your wallet....down here, a sho nuf proven squirrel dog is gonna cost you about $4K....I've been offered $5K for Sandy, and laughed in the guys's face. ;)

Yea, but you are a rich farmer person. If you were poor like me you would have sold her. :D

Haha, you need to come down, and hunt with her....she's not just a dog, she's a well-oiled machine....pretty sure you'd change your mind. ;)

Heck, you can buy a lot of KFC for $4K, too....it's all about the hunt and the dog. ;)

Chicken:

If you had as much training/money in dogs, like Muddy and I do, the cost of being able to find a run away dog is priceless.
It would take 8 years of training, to get another dog to the level my dogs are and a lot cheaper then the cost of GPS trackers.

Youse dufes should switch to cats! They're smart and can be fully trained in a matter of days! :D
