Put out by South Dakota Fish and Game on snares and how to release them if your dog gets caught in one. https://youtu.be/j1MVqFYfIhw?si=BTNJZdf18cI-fd6U

That has always been my concern. Are the dogs responding, can they respond and can they figure out where I’m calling from, especially here in the woods.
