Ideation 8,216 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Just out of interest, does or has, anyone on here used a tracking collar on their dog/s? I've been out once with some lads that used them to great effect, and the americans etc use them a lot. Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,361 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I know the aussies and kiwis use them on their pig dogs,as they can end up miles away, but I can't see much use for them on running dogs here in the UK. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Simo - that would be good mate, cheers! Chart - Sorry, wasn't meant to be so cryptic. An example of their use would be, before the ban, running large quarry such as deer, with a dog in the daytime, in wooded, or very rough undulating ground, and the dog being led on a merry dance out of your sight, and then pulling down the quarry. Obviously it could not be retrieved, and if the dog returned you could lose the quarry. So a gps would be handy. Another example might be hunting up on big old rough moors or mountainsides, and putting a fox up, and the hunt, leading the dog waaaaay out of your sight, it'd be nice to know which direction to start walking. Thats the best i can do on here mate. Nancy - do you know what collars? 2 Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Cheers mate, i thought it might be the Garmin Astro, that's the new one. By all accounts, the most popular. Pretty pricey though! Quote Link to post
