Cheshire Poacher 6 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Last year went for a walk with my dog when it seen a deer in the next field and took off after it we ran to keep the dog and deer in sight but they were gone it took 3 1/2 hours to find the dog to say i was getting worried would be an understatment i think this as happened to a few lads/lase that they have lost ther dogs for a few hours so i got to thinking the yanks use tracking systems on there hounds i was wondering has any body use them over here. they would be agood bit of kit just in case your dog sees a deer while you are walking and takes off Quote Link to post

Tassa 64 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 There is tracking systems you can get. I know of lads who have two collars they keep on their harriers to track them when they go on on a fox. They told me the piece of kit was a couple of hundred quid and its tracks them up to a certain distance but im not sure what that distance is but they say its a great job. Quote Link to post
