brinny Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Picked up the dog last night, and she really does look the goods........However Huntalot tells me she can get a bit carried away and just keep going on scent, and last thing i need is to spend all day looking for dogs. So a tracking collar will be the go, but never having had them, i m in unfamiliar territory in what to buy and where to get them. Does anyone use these collars?......Any info on brands to look at,range, price etc greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 The Garmin Astro has been by far the most popular but unfortunately it has a frequency not licensed for use within Aus/NZ. If I had personal experience with one I would say they worked OK There is a new Garmin unit though, the Alpha which can be used in Aus, no reason to see why it wouldn't be just as good if not better.

brinny Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Thanks for the info Waldo.....Being Garmin, i guess the first place to look would be Anaconda, and go from there, thats where i bought my GPS from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR243 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Contact Al Rogers from Aussie Tracker repairs, he is a top bloke and will sort you out. He is also a hunting guide with his own business Saratoga Fishing and hunting Adventures, so he uses his own products for his dogs. He deals with Garmin too.
