Well more birds started to come so I got back down. Same thing, birds didn't finish. When I stood up he was gone. He was found about 5 miles away. Can't explain how it happened or how he got so turned around. But I still don't use a GPS collar. I figure it was a rarity and I'll pay extra attention next time. I really hope this guy finds his dog, I've been in his shoes, and it's anything but fun.

Almost the same exact thing that happened to me. The problem is that this evnt repeated itself a year later. I wasn't so lucky the second time. This was a 4yo that had an hr title at nine months, derby list, qaa with open and am points. Be careful SD.

WOW! Obviously an impressive animal! I hate to hear that.
