Range?

Understood I have never thrashed a dog bad but if I got one hanging around I will pick a limb and scold it to get out of my site the dog I mentioned above though most of the time went out and just stood and listened for a bay lol the Garmin told on him I always thought he was hunting. But I did hunt with an old boy that had a Plott Mtn cur mix at first I didnt think much of the old dog but when he put her on a track she would line it out and go till she found a hog she just wouldnt range to find the track herself. I hunt where the hogs are few and finding good sign is tuff I been trying to get more and more range out of them and now I look for it first in a pup.
