dog runs off!

[NJheadhunter71]

He has only done this a few times but when its a deer he's gone! I only use him for flushing, treeing and retrieving squirrels. Normally he won't go more that 50 yards in front of me. I was thinking of using the e-coller but don't really know the proper way to use it in this situation? Any ideas?
