Walk Hunting and Dogs that get out

I do a lot of walk/sit hunting. Drop the dogs and let them do their thing. I wont walk or drive to them unless they are sitting down solid and I am pretty sure they will be sitting when I get there. Early on I made the mistake of always taking off at the sound of a bay. This made for long walks only to have to take off walking another direction if they broke. Couple of my dogs are very rangy and have "get you in trouble bottom". I let them do the work now and when I think they are sitting for good I head to them.

I love the fact that my dogs will cover a LOT of ground without me moving from my seat. I hunt with a buddy that road hunts and I will leave my dogs in the box til we stop and then I let them go hunt. They tend to cover less ground while were moving and I don't want them getting used to following the buggy and hoping we run across a fresh track or they wind something. I like them to go find it!
