Scooter hunts out about 200yds unless squirrels aren't stirring if not then he threads on in to about 450yds if needed....of a night he hunts about 300-400yds, if he hits a coon he will go where the coon goes whether its 300 or 1000yds.....everyone brags about dogs going 500 or 600yds to tree a squirrel, but I'll gladly take a 70yd tree over that any day. :)
