i just got in from a 5 mile walk tracking down my new pup! we finally got some rain in these parts and i went out to feed my two hounds and there was a rabbit laying in the field next to my barn. it bein about 70 degrees, i said its on! opened the kennel gate and let'em fly! after about a 30 minute chase my oldest went silent so i figured race over. i called them in and only my oldest showed. i put her in the kennel and off i go on a hunt of my own. i circled about 5 miles and showed back up to my house to see my 4 yr old and pup playing in the yard! NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER, WILL I TURN MY HOUNDS LOOSE WITHOUT AN E-COLLAR EVER! NEVER EVER, NEVER NO-WAY,, HUH UH, NOT HAPPENIN, AIN'T GONNA DOIT, NOPE, NOTTA!

several checks, line control not too bad, good chop bark- HEYA!HEYA!HEYA!

Glad you got them back, it is tough to teach a pup the ropes out in the field and its always frustrating until they figure out the routine. The shocker is a big ole improvement since the ole day, huh?

In this type of Case i consider myself Dang Lucky Been there Done that More than once NOT ANYMORE lots of rabbits in my runnin pen and thats where the Pups Go!! until they learn to handle and what an E collar is for!!!
I Feel for ya man i really do!!!
