I was able to hunt with a pair of them over a 2 week period.  I really liked the accuracy, but the durability was horrible...both antennas broke and had to be "rigged".  The body harness was shredded and the plastic molding was cracked.  I was at the Shot Show in Las Vegas earler this year and went by the Garmin booth to speak with one of their "higher-ups" to give them feedback on the unit and recommendations to improve it for hog hunting.  I was shut-down in a few seconds and told that Garmin is not a company that promotes hog hunting and was not interested in even hearing about their product being used for such......It was made for bird hunters and well trained pointers I was told.  This response really hacked me off and I wont buy one.....Tracker is coming out with a GPS unit real soon....I believe I'll use theirs instead......You wont catch me throwing my money to a company with an anti point of view.....
