yall caught some absolute studs this year!

Hollowpoint nothing is full proof, but a cheap and effective thing I do is use a bicycle inner tube I cut it long enough that it slides from the box of the collar and all the way over the gps box. Your antenna will also go through it and it hasn’t interrupted signal in any way that we’ve noticed but sure has save some damage to the collar. If it gets cut or torn up you can cut it off and slide another one on. You can get several out of one $12-$15 inner tube.

Semmes, bud we’ve visited a good bit and I can tell you, you have a wealth of knowledge, especially when it comes to bulldogs. You shouldn’t be reluctant to share. Everyone will not agree with everything any of us have to say, but at the very least it gives us all something to chew on.

I check this site every day for over a decade now I believe. Though I no longer hunt with dogs it still was one of my biggest passions in life and those times made me the person I became and I believe helped me raise my children, now adults, into the great youngsters they are.

I too look forward to WOW’s trip every year.
 
And the rest of you kicking off the hunting stories.

I don’t  comment much because I simply have little input. But rest assured I read and enjoy!

No I didn’t, after yesterday’s hunt we found some damage that might’ve lead to the tracking failure. Dan was fighting that boar for a while before the cavalry could get there, his collar took some damage that appears to have severed the wire from the module to the gps unit. Also you can see the tusk got between his nameplate and collar in the same place.

 AMEN to all that was said.

WOW is taking those sows back home with him in an ice chest and my neighbor has been after me for a shoat that he can put on a rotisserie. I finally got him one that wasn’t half eaten by the time we got to it. Those smaller ones are hard to save most times.

We didn’t put up great numbers this year, about 30 I think. I know in other places people don’t have our numbers so they can’t put up huge numbers. In years past we would’ve done this good in a couple of hunts. Evolution though is a factor. Properties have changed hands, hogs are pressured harder, etc. so it all has an impact. We did catch some good hogs though and every hunt was a good time. I’m extremely blessed to have a really good hunting circle. At the end of the day it’s a great day if the dogs did well and you got to be with good friends to enjoy it.

Have you cleaned the connection at the collar antenna?

I had that problem with the DC-40s fairly often. 

I just updated all collars and handhelds last week.

When is the last time you updated your collar?

I have a TT-15 that was losing signal, but since I updated the collar, I have not had that issue.
