Another one of our own, Courtney bagged her first Buck and boy was it a Big One! Courtney is our phone sales experts and bagged this Buck, a 10 point that was 170 lbs Saturday at 1:10 pm after 7 hours of hunting. The trophy deer was shot at a 15 yard range at Beaver Continue reading?

Hi, I'm Eric with Lion Country Supply. I'm here today to introduce you to the all-new Garmin Alpha TT15 Mini bundle and the Garmin Alpha TT15 extra collar. Customers tell us all the time here at Lion Country Supply that the existing TT15 is a little large and heavy for smaller breeds. Well Garmin has solved that problem with the TT15 Mini.

The new T5 mini has a smaller physical size as you can see compared to the original T5. The collar strap can fit down to a 9.5 inch neck. It has a lighter weight at 7 ounces. compared to 9 ounces with the original T5 collar. It also has a sleep mode, which allows you to shut the collar on and off from the hand held, allowing you to conserve battery life. You can also turn the beacon lights on and off from the hand held.

Lion Country Supply Says: You know you're a REAL Dog Person IF: You have the latest model of almost every brand of E-collar made. You have memorized the phone numbers of the 3 nearest shooting preserves, but can't remember your own cell phone number. You prefer the smell of your wet dog over the smell..

Garmin had sent prototype first run samples of the new PRO models to select dealers a few weeks ago. I have had a chance to tryout the new PRO550. I currently use a Tri-Tronics Pro500 to train my 4 year old Lab Billey for AKC hunt tests. The 2 systems are very similar in operation Continue reading?

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.

Jim from Shipping here and I wanted to let you all know what I thought of the Garmin Delta Sport w/ BarkLimiter. As most of you know I have an English Setter Ranger who is 9 months old. I began using the Garmin Delta Sport when he was about 6 months old. I bring him to Continue reading?

I am just a couple weeks to the end of the countdown for my annual trip to the Northwood's of Maine! This trip is much looked forward to starting the first day home the year before. We have a lot to prepare for since we are traveling with a lot of dogs. As you can Continue reading?

October 2013 after the first day of our general small game season as we were standing around a beautiful campfire, I slipped and suffered a dislocated ankle and a fairly serious break to my lower leg. As you can imagine, I was out of commission for pretty much the whole season. Although, I did get Continue reading?

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?
