I tie my garmin off to a belt loop, belt, or something with 550 chord. Old military habit but it keeps me from losing junk.

thats a nice looking red hog. I haven't seen one that colorful in a while. your dogos are looking good! I think tracking systems are good, but people tend to rely on them much.
Especially people who came into hunting with a garmin. They are lost if they don't have it, glued to the screen constantly having to keep as close to the dogs as they can. Pretty much just follow them around the woods.
Actually it kind of annoys me to where i won't hunt with a few certain people.
sfboarbuster Don't take it so personally. Not sure if you are serious or not but of all the reasons not to hunt with someone thats a pretty silly one... If I had to guess I'd say majority of people are more used to interpreting visual stimuli compared to audio stimuli. So whats the difference if your looking at a screen or just being real quiet and listening with your eyes closed. The point is your trying to figure out where your dogs are or what they are doing. I would rather see a picture and a map than listen to a beep beep beep or listen and try to hear a dog bark every 5 mins. Hell sometimes its better cause you can't hear a bay at the bottom of a creek but you know when that Garmin says treed and all the dogs are in the same spot and aint moving that its a bay!! Its so great I bet even a deaf person could hunt efficiently with one, how could you knock it! I'm talking about a few people who have it where the dog is a hundred yards away and they will head that way just because the dogs "might" be on a hog.... |
