Growing up and throughout my early adult years I had the perfect setup; my cousin Chris, who couldn’t be closer to me if we were brothers, had the dogs.  I didn’t have to take care of them, I could just show up and take them hunting whenever I wanted, which ended up being a lot!  It’s safe to say that...

Imagine that you're new to the world of dog tracking. Or maybe you're in the market for a new system and it's been awhile since you've needed to shop for new gear. Perhaps you just won a TT15X collar in a raffle and while it pairs to your old Astro, you can't make use of its training functions, and you're...

If you are a part of the hound community it has become very apparent that there is an alarmingly large number of people who do not like what we do. Every year we hear more and more issues arise of some group of people wanting to abolish a certain type of hound hunting. We all struggle as a community to...

How well do you know your prey (and your dogs)? Take a quiz and find out!

Utilizing our dogs for finding, pointing and/or flushing upland game is now behind us. Big game blood trails are mere memories. We have picked up our decoys, left the duck blinds with our retrievers at heel. The changing of the season brings the closure of our passion for working dogs. Unfortunately it also brings an untimely seasonal depression for hunters...

Currently, trading in used gear might get you the kind of deal you would get if you wanted to sell a tracking system altogether rather than trade for new items.

We are all familiar with the phrase “quality over quantity”. But do we actually apply this in real life; especially when it comes to our hounds or sporting dogs? You see for sale ads all over social media, kennels downsizing, people adding dogs to their bench or strings. But, is it worth it? We all have this fantasy to own...

When a TT15/T5 collar flashes red on charge, or fails to power on, it could be a possible indication that the battery is defective. If you see this occur, immediately take down the collar's serial number and give DU a call to check warranty status if you are at all unsure about the collar's age. If under warranty, get the...

At some point or another everyone here has gotten back to the truck or through the woods and said “where is my …?” I am sure others have been in that same spot where hours where you should be hunting have been devoted to finding whatever you lost in the woods. It is not a fun experience and can most...

When thinking about deer hounds the walker seems to rule the woods here in North Carolina. They are fast, powerful dogs that really push a deer through the block. However when I started my pack I decided that I wanted to take a different, more classic approach. I made my mind up that I was going to begin looking for...
