When did he go missing? We'll keep an eye out when we're out there

I sure hope you find your pup.

When you do please next time keep him on a lanyard of some sort. When you throw all the new scents at a pup, the excitement that instinct brings and few shot gun blasts, you can expect him to stop running two counties over.

I'm not chastising you in anyway, I lost a dog a few years ago, luckily after an hour and a half looking for her only to find her back at the truck. After that a lanyard went on for a time or two and she learned her recall quickly.

Good luck I really hope your dog gets to come home.

Ya it's for a friend that lost it, he is pretty stressed about it.

It's was his first time taking the dog hunting.

I told him I would post on here for him.


Thank you all

Default He should stay in the area until he finds it

Lost dogs in this area seldom survive one night as the coyotes will cut his trail tonight and follow him until they find him. Puppies automatically go into submissive posture when threatened but in the case of coyotes they just tear into them. Shepherds, hounds as well as Irish setters have been run down by a pack and killed in this area.

This is one of those posts that would have been better off posted in a week.

Default I cant take any credit for finding the dog

Never saw the dog despite looking all around the area. Just alerted everyone hunting to be on the lookout for a black and white setter pup. Several guys from Langdon were still sitting in their trucks on the road when I left to do my final circuit for the area at dinner time. Suspect those guys were prepared to stay until dark 30 in case any of the hunters brought the pup out or the pup returned to the road area. Great that it worked to get the pup back to its owner but I wasn't involved. I suspect the guy with the maritime accent that found the first dog in the ditch by the staging area of the two that were missing may have waited for the younger pup to return to the staging area as well. Either way it is a happy ending!
