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.....
That is a rather unwise statement for the maker of a tracking system to make. I promise they stand to make a lot more money off of hog, coon, bear, and cat hunters than they do bird hunters.
