Thanks guys for the comments and yes
Mike, he was a boulder jumper.

Here is more pics of a nice Tom that we got a couple weeks ago on a little snow.

Due to the mild winter, We decided to do a little dry ground hunting in Northern NM. I first found his track last week but was 3 or 4 days behind him. After 7 days of checking the same roads every morning, He finally came back threw to check his scrape line. Found his track shortly after daybreak ...

A (GOOD) pack dog is one that may not be able to start or trail up bad tracks but once it's up and jumped, You better look out.

It has alot of storage on top and at the tailgate. It also has a gun compartment behind the cab. Has a rig rack ...

Neff, I hope that works for you. I had the same issue when they first came out and luckily figured it out by trial and error. Have you heard of any Bears out walking much? I went to Monticello last weekend nothing was moving but the weather was nasty.

If you have another collar that is programed with the same last digit in the ID number, that ID number will not be available. For instance if you have a collar with ID 21 you won't be able to add a collar with ID 31 without interferance. I reccomend changing the new collars ID number if you have the ...

I went to south east UT over the weekend and they aren't moving there yet but the weather was bad.
