Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 The older lads I used to go out with still use them on occasion, like everyone knows though the collars can die on you at the worst times, I prefer the bellman just for reliability more than anything else. But I'd say the old debens are the best for pin point accuracy at the end of a dig if you're struggling to locate a tube... Quote Link to post
freem 25 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm using a mk3m collar and a mk1 box, no complaints with it - works well enough for me Quote Link to post
digging-deep 518 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 used one on a dig to a mates dogs a few seasons ago, the dog entered a big earth we searched high and low for the dog but nothing then i decided to check behind us in the field and about half way down the field i got a mark on the dog at 4 foot, im glad the BnF are out and i cherish it.

vduben 55 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 i wouldnt comprihend using one, i use a barry vox box and bellman collar, it pinpoints to 0.0 so no worries there, ive got the mk3m for the ferrets but thats all it gets used for! Quote Link to post
