I love mine...... BUT they do lose signal sometimes and if your dogs have alot of bottom i suggest running a radio system on them also my dogs do not get turned lose without a radio system i want my dogs back after the hunt. As far as durability i have had no issues a few people had some issues with collars but garmin sent them a brand new one so they stand by there product.

I dont know how we hunted without them. I think they are well worth their money. Without the long range antenna ours starts to cut out at about .7 miles but with the long range antenna it has went up to 5 miles. We have a problem with my brothers collar right now and are about to send it in but other than that everything works good. I woud recommend the product.

A hog ran a tusk into the button that you turn it on with, dogs were in water and it fried the collar. I sent it back and they had me a new collar in 5 days free of charge. i am a believer

I have only had mine a few months. Haven't had any issues except losing signal sometimes but usually pick it right back up. I like that I can stay on top of our rough dogs with it.

I have run the Garmin since it was introduced. It is a wonderful tool to any dog hunter.

You may be hitting the go to button. That will take you straight to him. I leave mine on the compass and then when you look at the map you may have to pan out to see everywhere it has been. |

i calibrate it every hunt. It is a very usefull tool when my dog is on the ground. He doesnt go further than 1 mile so I really dont have a problem with signal. I like it.
