Even if the dog was super long range it's always easy to move a little closer to her and you will pick her right back up. We have dogs that are long range and it ain't a problem

I don't believe that's entirely true at least not in my case. I use to be a garmin guy and relied on it 100%. Had some buddies on here say one day it's Gunna fail its not a matter of if but when. They convinced me into a beep beep and I be damn if not that same weekend I started running both one of my collars antennas broke and completely lost the dog and one of my best dogs without the beep beep might not would have found her cause she wasn't back tracking when I lost her
anything can happen. That's those what ifs. The Garmin or beep beep could just blow up in your hands. I was saying if the dog is long range you know where you lost it at and can head in that direction and pick it back up. No tracking system out there is perfect. Tuff skin antennas usually fix that tho. Not trying to make ya mad

Not mad at all, just difference in opinion. Lol I like to think my dogs are rangy and if they get half a mile and say I loose em and they re hot on a hogs ass it's not always so simple as to just pull up where I lost em cause there ain't no tellin where or how far they ve gotten since last scene on the garmin. I love the garmin but the insurance of the beep beep definitely is a +

Garmins are nice but I refuse to turn any of my dogs loose without a quick track on them.
