Maybe they are not on this board. I hope that is why. A tracking collar tells me most likely they want the dog. But you never know.
Sounds like they got money to buy tracking collars so they can find the hogs not dogs, gees, no nametags on collars or even on the tracking collars or vest, gives hunters a bad name, no telling how many dogs starve, get shot, get run over or wander due to the lack of a 50 cent name tag on a $4 collar, but in all fairness, somebody could have caught the dogs, removed the collars and hauled them away from the hog to save him!!!!!lol You did good giving a heads up, one never knows anymore,,,,
