Another idea I use when I get them in the brush is to have a lighted collar on the dog. If I see them out there and they are not on a track, I call them in and pet them up and send them back out. With the lighted collar, I can tell if they are listening or do I need to melt the wax out of their ears. lol I have had several comments about how I can call my dog in when the hunt time is up. Life is too short to run around half the night hoping dog will get treed, so one can catch their dog. I was guiding our state youth hunt this summer and I had a 17 yr. old in my cast. When the hunt was over, he just went and sit on the tail gate. I told him that his dog was just in that ditch about 100 yd away and he said that the only way to catch him was at the tree. Long story short, about 20 minutes later the dog came trotting down the road, this young man walked up to the dog, put the lead on him and whipped the dog all the way to the truck. I had just left and didn't witness this or I would have had him written up.

Good ideas from all so far. I've been hesitant to use much more than the tone on the e-collar because I was afraid a couple of mine would take off rather than come in if hit with the juice. I DO know the female that wanted to play deer dog will come back when hit with the heat...we actually saw her cross a cutover after it, and I have to admit I lit her butt up. She yelped once and made it back to my side in a hurry. Took a couple of turn-outs to get her hunting back "normal" again, but the deer problem has been solved. Tried toning her the other night to get her to come out of some private land, and she totally ignored me. She acted like she was bumping around on a track, so I didn't want to put the heat on her. Anyway, long story short, I'd like to find the most effective way to teach them without RUINING them with the e-collar. Looks like we'll be having some quality time in the yard soon!

You have to wonder where he learned it.
I've also chased my dogs to catch them also. But never whooped them because of my failings has a trainer. I solved my problem by learning how to do it right. ( E-collar + rope) Sure is nice to just call them and they come. Unless their treed. They ain't moving.
