Not my dog, just passing on the info incase anyone is out there. She still has not been found. Lost Dog - Matador WMA After 30 years of running dogs, I never thought I'd be in this situation with the development of GPS collars. Yesterday, I lost my female GSP while hunting at the Matador WMA. She went missing around 10:30 a.m. in the East Aermotor pasture, near the Sisk Pen. Her GPS collar failed and lost connection with my Garmin Alpha 200i. I spent 7-8 hours searching and troubleshooting the tracker without success. Family and friends joined the search, but we couldn’t locate her. She’s wearing a Garmin TT15 collar and her standard collar that has my name, phone number, and address. She’s never strayed like this before; she always checks back in, even when ranging far or in thicker cover. If anyone is hunting or spending time in the area and spots her, please contact me immediately. She's very friendly and should come to you without issue. Thank you for your help.

Earlier today she still hadn’t been found.

No updates since yesterday. I think the guy was missing work looking for her, and couldn’t stay any longer. It would be tough for me to leave a dog behind, with no answers. I don’t judge other people’s decisions, maybe he really didn’t have a choice.

Maybe he could have someone check the register at the check in station to see if anyone else may have located his birddog or have any information.

Says on FB that the dog was found.
Thank goodness.
No story other than dog was found.

Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Said the Rangers found her right where he lost her. I think it was around 8 days.
