Big mouthed suckers.
Tracking systems had been around when I started hunting by myself, (13-14 years old), but we were fairly poor. Had a little female of my grandpas named Willies Miss Nightmoves (she didnt bark on the ground much, but she always had a coon) and than some pups that werent much. I hunted a lot of junk walking behind our house, but I never was allowed to hunt Missy till I was old enough to drive. At that time we couldnt afford the whole system, but Grandad scraped enough up to buy a collar that could be tracked on my brothers system. I would turn Missy loose sometimes on some rough nights, and she never came back. I would have to drive 20 minutes to my brothers, steal his system out of his box, and try and track her down. One night I lost her, and finally used the beep beep to get her under the floor boards of an old house. Went home and got an axe, and chopped all night long thinking she was dead under there and grandad was gonna be pretty sore. By the time I found the collar (no dog attached) that old house was almost dismantled, and it was 10 am, and I had been looking since midnight. I laid a coat down, went home, and before I went to bed I looked in Missys kennel and there she was, sound asleep in her barrel. I was 20 years old before I got an innotek tracking system and collars of my own, and I really thought I was the cats meow.
It would have been nice to have an alpha and my Sidekick on nights like that.
