Old coon hunters trick is if you have to leave and come back tomorrow leave a hunting coat or something with your sent on it so if she finds her way back to where you parked she will stay with the coat,
As a boy we had to leave coon hounds a few time and each time they were laying on the coat the next morning.

One of the things any bird dog owner fears. You do what you can, and that's all you can do. Hope she finds you, soon.

Sorry to hear that. I know what your going through and it’s a gut punch you can’t explain.
Lost a dog quail hunting above Lone Pine CA and spent the day looking. Ended the day going to all the campsites and asking people to watch for our dog. Got a call a few hours later and went to pick him up at there camp and two college girls were holding him in their laps feeding him grilled chicken in front of their campfire and he’s looking at me like “that’s ok I’ll stay with them tonight” was embarrassing having to literally drag him away to the kennel in the back of the truck.
Good luck, we are all praying for Scout to come home safe.

No good ideas but pray for it. Seriously my mom lost my black footed ferr6when I was in Africa on a 2 year mission. All I cod tell her was pray for it. She did and then went to the grocery store. She was in line checking out and the lady in front of her started telling the checker that she just found the funniest looking animal in her flower bed eating her flowers. My ferret Louise loved flowers so my mom asked the lady what it looked like. Turned out it was Louise found over a week later 3 miles from our house.

Sorry to hear that Rick. Praying for the safe return of Scout. Please keep us updated. This . Prayers sent. Was a heart attack possible. Snake bite? Honking truck horn? Dayom. If you have to leave, leave your coat there, and water.

As a boy we had to leave coon hounds a few time and each time they were laying on the coat the next morning. That trick works! I found a a bear hound at a forest services gate a few years ago and called the number on his tag. The guy asked if I was at the gate with denim jacket or the flannel shirt? I looked again and there was a denim jacket tied around the fence post where the dog was when I got him. The guy had knew where we were when I told him about the jacket. He had left clothes at each gate on the way out for the dog to smell and it worked. We met up down the mountain and gave him his dog and jacket back.

I lost my female English Setter a few years ago (RIP Hannah). This was in an area of MT with plenty of wolves. I eventually found her at an abandoned ranch, sleeping in the shade.
Hope you find Scout soon.
