Rick;
Sorry to read of this sir, truly.
It's getting light here so should be down there soon too.
My prayer is that you find her and that you're going to have an extra measure of peace today Rick.

Been in your shoes a couple times. I stayed for 2 days before finding my dog the second time. Binoculars helped find him laying down asleep under some brush
The first time the old blanket/jacket from home and food trick worked
Praying for you

Sorry Rick, it is indeed a sick feeling.
Since you mentioned Scout is 15, I would start at the last place you saw him and take jet and do bigger and bigger circles. You will be leaving your scent too. Old dogs can just lay down, and especially if they have unknown health issues. Others have given good advice on leaving clothing. The drone idea is worth consideration. I hope he is ok and you find him soon. We are all rooting for Scout.

Hope you left a coat near where you last saw her. Have found several of my misplaced dogs laying on my coat the next morning. Nothing worse than losing a good dog.

Damn Rick.Hope this turns in your favor.
I have made it a habit to train the dogs I take afield to track, primarily humans, but each other if need be.It has come in handy a couple times...

Rick, any chance you could go back through where you last saw her, from downwind, with Jet and watch him closely to see if he tunes in? When you get to the spot maybe get Jet on her track?
Also, I would check out any farm/ranch houses around, especially any you were downwind of when you lost her.
Also check any water holes for tracks that you were downwind of at the time.
GOD bless.
