I don't live in a well populated area and I was way back in the woods today so I am wondering how many are lost every year and is this happening everywhere or just in northern Idaho?

Several years ago, my redbone coon hound pup started baying treed in the yard, lol. Ran outside, rifle in hand, to find her baying a mylar balloon tangled in the top of one of the trees in the woods line, lol. Last edited by yotetrapper30; 09/22/18 01:49 AM. ~~Proud Ultra MAGA~~

When I was in 3rd grade in St. Louis our class wrote notes with our address and attached them to helium balloons for a project. I can't remember where mine made it to but it was a couple states away at least. The quantity of those mylar things sold in the world would stagger the imagination. Guess I'm lucky here... I've never found one. Pete
