I want a GPS tracker for my Brittany Spaniel. Any recommendations?

garmin pro 550 plus & alpha tt25 Worth it for piece of mind. We use it backpacking. No app required, gps on handheld shows an arrow pointing to collar and distance This works in the back country, away from cell and wifi. There's not many options if thats what youre looking for

New to Hunting, what e-collar would you recommend?

That collar is probably fine assuming it's waterproof.

Training help?

New to Hunting, what e-collar would you recommend?

tracking collar rec

It really depends on your budget. If you want something premium, then Garmin Alpha 10 might be one of the better options on the market. But you have to consider a price of $400 for the handheld, plus some $200 for the collar. What you get is a compact device that fits in your pocket and points you t
