Someone told me to get range outta a male try throwing out a female in heat that will get out there, that he'd follow her all day long, lol. I guess thatd work, as long as whoever had that gyp wouldnt mind pups from it.
when mine were first starting theyd take off like banshees about 75 yards, sniff around like fools, then haul a$$ back, so when theyd disappear round a bend or in the woods, id turn around and haul my own a$$ back the other way so theyd kinda get used to runnin further to come back to me. They go about 250-400, which i'm happy with. Not that i was able to RUN THAT far from em
