Maine hunting dog law

[Whackumstackum]

Let's say a hound is trailing a coon, and keeps getting zapped ... Hound has no ability to reason why or that it only concerns a property line.

Results ...... Hound broke from trailing coons.

Maybe a poorly trained one. The boy I’ve been letting coon hunt you tone the dog one time and holler and she will come right back, we practice what we preach around here. I also have a great relationship with most of my neighbors and they let us coon hunt their places as well.

As in with a certain model garmin you can auto set boundaries on the map that will zap them automatically?

Which model does that?

Alpha 100. It doesn’t zap them, you do if your dogs aren’t trained to return to you on tone and calling.

I think it’s called “Geofence”. You can build a boundary with up to 10 pts. When the dog gets to a line between any 2 of those points you get an alert.

My beagles would all return to me with a tone and me calling to them. Every ranging dog should be trained to do the same. Yes, it sucks to call a dog off an active track for any reason, but there are times when it absolutely has to done. Clifford was the only dog I had that I would have to convince with a bump of electricity to leave a rabbit and come back to me.

Jake is very well tone broke,

I just didn’t realize that was an option with the newer garmins, I’m still running a 320

I used to love taking guys running with me that were used to field trial dogs that were slow and to have the rabbit jumped for them and called to it. I pulled up, let my dogs out then climbed up on the dog box and drank coffee, lol. When it was time to go I toned em and they came back to me.
