Nope , I don't comp hunt. And it's things like this that keep me away.
Where I hunt there is a road every mile. Sometimes only a 1/2 mile.
The only times my dogs where a shock collar is if I'm trying to get him broke. Which might be a few times while young.
In 30 years of hunting around here , I've had 1 dog run over. And she was coming down the road to check in.
If your following the rules right now , by the time you got back to the truck to get your transmitter , the dog "should" already be across that road or hit. If not , he's slow enough you should be able to run him down and catch him. So , that excuse doesn't wash with me.
If a guy would learn how to put his dogs into coon , he wouldn't have to worry about him crossing a road very often.
People wonder why the sport is dying.
When people think you have to have a big bright light , tracker system , shock collars , fancy dog box , etc.
Heck , the cost of all that would scare me away too , if I didn't know any better.
