FUJI 17,327 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Steve its not easy lol..I did lose one a couple of weeks ago..it crossed a river and I thought fook that I will go all the way around via the foot bridge I knew it was down as I heard it but by the time I toddled myself to the bridge the dog swam back across the river..I searched high and low for nigh on four hours but the forest is huge it was like looking for a needle in a haystack..thats the only one ive not found but it wont be the last if I continue to mooch about in the same area but a tracker would be of no use unless the mutt stayed and generally they all do but that day I was a long owld way from the crossing ... its hard graft buddy aint it haha 1 Quote Link to post
