Nothing can ruin a day afield like a dog chasing up birds out of range.
At the very least it disrupts the hunt and leaves the owner perplexed and embarrassed. At the worst, the dog could wind up dead. I heard of one dog that strayed from its owner and wound up getting shot by a party of hunters last fall. Another got out of range and was struck and killed by a car. Still others simply disappear, never to be seen again.
