    Lucky in Paradise.

    No much to say, just that the wind was against me and I was patient enough to wait for this young fella to turn up at 350 meters up hill... He didn't last long.
    Great evening, very painful.

    Cheers.

    Take your dog out there and send him to find. Use a tracking lead.

    One time I lost both my hearing aids in very dense bush in Clements road and did not realise till I got back to my car. Replacement cost was in the thousands, and I only had a couple of hours of light left. I had properly trained my GWP's to track on command so I put tracking leads on them both (in tandem) and took them to where I entered the bush earlier that day. Just on dark both dogs, after having led me through my wandering route through the bush for about 1500metres, stopped at a large windfall log. I had laid down on this log to roll over the top of it. Both hearing aids were there in the moss. I was very relieved, and also very pleased with the textbook performance of my dogs in a situation other than finding game. Finding your rifle mag should be no problem if your dog is trained to find and track.
