Owner called me this morning and we spoke at length. He didn't even remember turning the collar on. Dogs can hear a whistle at 600 + yards so that theory is probably not valid. Eli was sent on a bird he saw fall and it was a relitively easy retrieve, $hit happened and he didn't come back. If he had been a "Rock" dog there would have been no chance for him to get lost since they only go as far as the rock can be thrown.

It was warming up from the last front but I would be more concerned with him getting him on Hwy 82 in the dark.

My dog got lost one time on a long retrieve on a crippled speck. Punched him out over 2 levees and was handling him to the AOF (Area of the Fall). Some more birds started coming so I whistle sat him and got down in the blind. Birds never finished so I stood back up to handle him again and he was still sitting and watching. 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.

Gotcha... Thx for reply... Sux this happened... That 600yard theory can't be true after a certain age with dogs being right by a muzzle blast for 5yrs or so huh? A good buddy of mines dog just passed the fall grand and he believes she has some hearing loss. Sometimes wind not in handlers favor she can't hear whistle...

Gators aren't a big problem when water gets 60deg or lower unless the dog run right over the top of them then still not likely. Yes you will see them out sunning but pass close to them in a boat and they don't even want to move hardly at all

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.
