My hounds have insulated houses, tin roofs, hound heaters with heated water bowls in their pens.

I have no issue with treating my hunting fur-buddies with some comfort, they work really hard for me and never quit in the dead of winter.

I keep a handheld Long Range Antennae in my truck......It's great insurance if the dogs get too far or during training season if I retreat to the truck-stand in bad weather for a snooze I did use it to locate another groups dogs one time.....the 4 dogs were pounding a hare 2.95 miles away in heavy c...

Nice vid JCM, reminds me of late fall hare hunting before they turn white around here...sometimes we feel bad for them cuz they are just too easy to see against the white background.....it makes some great action

Mark, Thanx for sharing your vids, I've always enjoyed them and have been subscribed to yours and Joeyman's for several years now

Keep up the great running

Go with Garmin; you get what you pay for. Larry x2........I bought into the Garmin setup the first summer the DC-30 came out (IIRC summer 2007?) I use mine every week, other than an occasional collar battery every few years I've had no trouble......the buttons on the receiver are worn completely of...

Just thought I'd show a link to a very sad situation here....The family of dogs where my prized Gurdy comes from has been vanished into suburbia....The story here.....

Great Post Joeyman.......I feek as though I'm the exact opposite as you cuz my two houndley yodelers have never run (nor I've never shot) a cottontail.......
