the garmin system is great for coon houds but i wouldnt put one on a deer hound,i tested a garmin this past summer and for long range deer hounds it sucks.not to mention the charge on the collar only lasts 36 hours.......... thats not long enough for a deer hound thats left the county,not to mention it will have allready lost connection with the collar anyway.

my suggestion is magnum tellemetry box that tracks 224 frequency,no static or bleed over or quick track 6000 it wont track in the 224 range but its a great box or if you need to go cheap the yeasue box is good with a booster
