Rick, I personally feel the recording someone using a garmin to walk to a dog, and a dog not being heard on the video while the voices of all cast members being heard are, is pretty good evidence. I also feel it will put the pressure on the third member in the cast to do the right thing when it’s said “I’m going to record this, and turn it into PKC, and I’d be really careful before you back a guy that’s cheating.” If, that don’t fix the problem then I don’t know what will.

The garmin has nothing to do with it. A dog might’ve been heard trailing deep and gets out of hearing, handler trees his dog “in that direction.”

If majority of cast doesn’t hear it, I’m not walking anywhere.

These things were happening long before garmins.

About all you can do is sign in the gray. But with that being said you drive an hour or more after u have worked all day and your running for a ticket its not right.I hunted the hunts when the garmins were not allowed and i promise i have seen it done many more times since garmins are allowed. I gaurantee you 80% or higher could not call there dog without looking at there garmin. Sad thing is they will never go back to the old ways even know they have a ? about it at about every SS and World hunt since they allowed garmins. JMO

The Garmin has a lot more to do with it than you know!! One of the worst things to ever happen to pkc!!
I see Michael Brown is trying to influence help towards the matter... but questioning a 2 to 2 vote want do any good an videoing it want help. There not going to say much after they’ve got you walking the way they want you to an you ain’t gonna be able to hear the dog good enough on video to do anything about it. It’s just one of those things a man is gonna have to deal with. Bc there isn’t anything that’s gonna be done. The Garmin has its ups an downs. Just something we’re gonna have to learn to deal with!! Hate it for ya Daniel...

Scott and Coy , it’s nice to see a few guys that are very successful admit that it really happens. Some many time folks just say “you’re just a sore looser”. I still go some, but it kinda takes the drive outta ya when you you get a few “bad breaks” like that in a row.
