Are they the best?

I understand the pricey Astro tracking GPS system, depending on model, can:

1. be used as a VHF radio walkie-talkie
2. be used for navigation in the woods or field
3. track your dogs with the special radio collar

Is this correct?

Hunters to operate effectively in the field, be safe and keep their dogs safe have to:

1. navigate
2. communicate with dogs, drivers, dog handlers, partners, fellow party members, guides, etc.
3. locate game and their dogs
4. shoot hopefully only legal game and not humans or hounds
5. move unless stationed at a stand
6. be seen by others

Dog tracking devices work for training in the field as well as during the hunt.
Even if you hike and are not hunting with your dog, the tracker can prevent a lost dog.


Do you recommend it?
