Garmin Collars

I was lucky to get a chance to field test the new Garmin Tri-Tronics PRO 70 on a few of my beagles. I was very impressed with the feel of the transmitter which is very simple to the G3 Classic I have used for years. The toggle switch which changes the button setup has the collar colors shown opposed to a circle and a dot, which in my opinion is easier to tell what collars you are transmitting to. The PRO 70 also comes with a bark limiter, this alone is one feature that I have always wished someone added onto one of the training systems.

The PRO Trashbreaker is now the longest range remote collar with an unprecedented 4 mile line of sight range. Using the Garmin Alpha 100 we found this unbelievable claim to be true although we did our test in the field without line of sight. The PRO Trashbreaker works off of a different radio signal from previous Trashbreaker units.

Here we are coming into the hottest part of the year and I cannot help but reminisce about some of my past cold weather hunts? One of my favorite memories comes from a hunt in the great North Woods of Aroostook County Maine. I take a trip every year with a group of great guys Continue reading?

I have been using the Garmin Alpha a good bit on my beagles and noticed that the collar strap was not drawing down small enough to use on my smaller girls, rendering it ineffective should I need to use the training portion of the system. We brainstormed and came up with a smaller collar strap, Continue reading?
