Keeping Dog Close in Back Country

You either need perfect recall or a leash i guess. If I think there could be moose nearby, you better believe my pup is leashed up. Surely there’s not deadfall every step you take? Undo when necessary, leash up when necessary. If your dog will run off at a deer or moose, you probably need a reality

Finally upgraded

Haha his gps collar is already enough expensive jewellery for him. And yeah, its a lifesaver in the field when we’re hunting. I never look at my handheld screen anymore, just down at my wrist. And the days i was in the middle of nowhere and my old watch wouldnt connect, it sucked. I definitely recom

My girl took off for the first time today - hopefully it’s just a one off?

We used to have a farm/cottage property that had very poor cell reception so I bought a Garmin GPS collar for my daughter’s dog. It was a little clunky as it needed its own dedicated receiver but it was totally reliable and the collar battery was good for a couple of days. My daughter’s dog is very

Tracking Collars

Name of the game for tracking/ecollar will be Garmin. If you want a very basic system, the Garmin 550 Pro has a very basic arrow/footage indicator on the controller. Alternatively if you just need gps in emergency, we use a Garmin 550 standard ecollar (no gps) and a Tractive collar that runs off cel

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

That collar is probably fine assuming it's waterproof. I believe e collar technologies is a bit less popular with the hunting crowds than they are with pet people. 0.5 miles is about 800 yards, but it will be less effective with obstructions. That said - my logic - with all the time, effort, care, e

Tracking collar recs?

GPS Track and Train

I’ve actually got 2 systems. Garmin Pro 550 with PT10. And then the Garmin Alpha 10 with T20. Reason being is I have my dog on an e-collar for a lot of things that isn’t hunting (walking around town, off leash in the park, roaming in the woods next to my house, etc.) where I don’t need a big ol’ ant

Advice on e-collars?

Dealer/User of both here. If you're introducing the e-collar and wanting to use it as a training collar and GPS, go with the Garmin Pro550+. The Pathfinder 2 is a good unit, but in training scenarios your timing to change stim levels, etc. is severely limited by the handheld and the need to utilize
