I know I don't post on here often but I get on and read pretty regularly. Five or six years ago, I swapped a coon dog for a quick track telemetry system and two dead quick track collars. I sold out of hog hunting four years ago when I went to college (am now in vet school at OK State). On winter break and during the summer, I usually get to hunt with buddies at home so I was considering getting the quick track system back in working order to use occasionally for hog hunting and to run on cowdogs. When I got into hog hunting in about 2010, most of the guys I hunted with were using garmin and I bought a 220 as my first tracking system so I dont have a lot of experience with the telemetry systems. In yalls opinion, is it worth the money to replace the batteries on the collars? I know you can buy the older garmin equipment dirt cheap these days but I was considering keeping the quick track system long term in order to use as a back up when I graduate and get back into hog hunting. Does quick track or another company still work on old telemetry collars? Would it be better to buy new collars instead? If I bought new collars, what brand should I look into? Would the collar batteries stay up with only getting used a few times a year? Thanks in advance for yalls input.

You can send the collars in to Quick Track and get them refurbed for pretty cheap, just give them a call. I still have my old Quick Track 6000 and a few collars. I never use them anymore, but check them every now and then... everything still works fine.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog... A hunting dog is born not made...
