Bob, that is a shame. That story should never have to be told, but sometimes it happens. I lost mine 3 years ago out on some AEP land. Got down to 7 degrees that night. Next day somebody called me on the red and white, she was 5 miles from where I released her. Found the other one on that guys back property hours later, still hunting! Thank goodness for bells and I.D. tags and honest people.
