No blood or anything. Shot with a 300 blackout and waited 6hrs to start the track. Doesn't seem hurt either way. Loosing signal with the Garmin seems to be more regular here lately. I had problems twice last week with newer collar. How far out are you losing signal??.....Are you using the short or long antenna? We dont rent pigs

One night was only about 150 yds, it kept temporarily losing signal. The other night he was about 350 yds away. Long antenna. This was on the TT25 collar. I have had no problems with my TT15.

The only time I've ever had any issues is in real thick stands of young pines where you're in under a lot of pine limbs close to the ground.....Pretty sure I'm using both We dont rent pigs

I cut the feet off of a deer my dad shot that ran a long way and to train the pup, I zip tie the feet to a broomstick and walk through the woods sticking it down in the ground every so often. Last weekend, I sent him on his very first track. Just a little ole doe shot on our farm that ran off through the swamp. Totally blind, I just took him to the hit sight and said "Find him Chief". He stuck his nose to the ground and led me right to her. Not a drop of blood anywhere to be found. Wasn't a very far track, probably only about 80 yard but I was very proud of him. He is only 7 months old. Hoping to build on that.

Funny how that works I got a call one time for the neighbor to the land I was currently on......All I had to do was pull out of the end of the driveway and go down the street about 1/2 mile......Be nice if they were all like that..... I'm headed out here soon to meet some folks to try and find one that was shot at facing the hunter yesterday evening.....They say they've got a decent amount of blood......We'll see how it goes......

Got another call on the way home on one that crossed the road on the hunter just at dark…….He wasn’t sure about the reaction but had a decent spot of blood at the hit site and then nothing else……We found him about 125 yards away in a thicket……… Last edited by CNC; 01/23/25 10:07 PM.
