Wow What a night, had a good cast of guys and the hunt went well till Radar fell in a 25 ft sinkhole that we could not get down into with the gear we had. After returning to the truck at 3:00 I expected to find just my truck there and no clue as to how to get Radar out but there were 4 fellow coonhunters waiting to make sure I made it back safe. 7 hrs later they were all still there and were not leaving till we got him out. finally got Conservation officer Ryan Jahn with the right gear to get to him and I cant thank all these guys enough for making a bad situation a lot better.



THANKS

Thanks Jason,Mark,and Mike. I was fortunate it was after the hunt was over and the garmin was turned on when he went in the hole so we was able to find him at the spot it quit tracking him. We never would have found him without the garmin

That was a lucky break for sure. I always run a beep beep collar and a gps collar on my dogs at the same time for that reason-years ago, I dug a dog out of a buried culvert, 3\8 mile from its opening. I was able to pin point him exactly with the beep beep signal and dug straight down to him-he'd of been a goner long before his time without it!
