Re: Alpha 100 setting question

I haven't been able to find a way to change the amount of time before the on point alarm trips. The only thing I have been able to change is the notification itself (tone, vibrate, tone and vibrate, message only, and off).

Re: Gun conditioning

I used a frozen quail, that way you don't need a lot of birds and you can use it multiple sessions. I had mine retrieving the quail first to get him excited and totally focused on the bird.

Re: Hunting Trip Food Storage

x2 for the 5 gallon bucket with screw on lid. Got mine from Home Depot. You can get buckets that are BPA free (if you worried about that type of thing). The lids have an rubber o-ring and are water/bug proof. I believe Gamma seal is the name. They come in different colors so you can quickly identify...

Why do you not put the dogs name on it? Do you think someone is more likely to keep your dog if they know his/her name as opposed to just having telephone numbers. Thanks.
