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

New to Hunting, what e-collar would you recommend?
It has basically the same capability as the pro 550 plus in that it's got an arrow pointing at the dogs but the user experience with the buttons is worse. There are some improved functions like putting a dog's name into the handheld and "starting a hunt" so you can track your activity, mostly just t

My first GPS - what to buy?
IMO Garmin is the best in the GPS game. I don’t even think that’s opinion at this point just facts. OP for my .02 I got the pro 550 plus and the TT25 collar. Easier to switch between dogs IMO. I synced it to my Instinct E and haven’t looked back. I also encourage you to reach out to uglydog, man doe

E Collar Question / Recommendations Needed
The one thing I've never really seen him do is go on point. For dogs like that...pointing usually comes when they figure out that they can't catch the bird.

E-Collar suggestions.
I use the Garmin pro 550 plus and with two tt25 collars. These were great. Have 9 Mile range. The display on the transmitter shows you what direction and how far they are. There's a beep, a buzz and a bunch of different stimulation settings. Honestly, I rarely use stimulation anymore as they come ru

Garmin 550 Pro and Tractive?
My two cents. Garmin is hands down the best GPS. The dogtra is a better collar. Garmin low 1 if i activate it in my hand I can feel it. The dogtra comes with lower settings that your dog can feel, but you can't. I have a pro 550 plus and the gps made it worth every penny. I use a completely differen
