I am putting in a order for the new Marshall tracking collars. I need 2 more collars. I see the new style collars have 3 LEDs for lighting.
Has anybody used them and how do you like it?
The old style are $169 the new lighted collars $199.
I dont have a problem with buying the new style just wonder if anybody had any comments on them..

We have one and love it, they are digital and they can change the freq. by just plugging them into their computer. they are alittle stronger and the lights kick butt. I would say if you do any kind of coon hunting at all these collars are for you.
I also run the sunburst collars but by the time you put a tracking collar a shock collar and the lighted collar , you wonder how the hell the dog can move his neck
Go with the Power Max you wont regret it

Thanks but when it come to my Wife and Dogs...(in that order) I would never trust buying something off of ebay. When I bought my Marshall tracking system, I bought it from Marshall and they did me good. I bought the same system a friend had bought 10 channel 4 collars and save over $500 on the package and free overnight shipping. I dont really want to pay $199 for each and hope to get a deal on the 2 new collars
And thanks Mr. pacojack for the input. (and the rest)
Thanks again

Home Depot- I bought a velcro strap on LED (?) light with a yellow cover- the light lights up the length of the cover - about 4- 5 inches and works great for 9 bucks. Has held up very well so far and the price was right. plus it will keep the price of one collar (counting shipping of course) under two hundred bucks a collar. Good luck, Paul Conway.

Marshall is the best ont he market. they have the stongest signal and the most user freindly on the market. Once you try one you will throw away the others on the market

Boy you sure push those Marshalls. Must be a salesman? Try Knockin off the price and some of the rest of us might try one. Its like buying a hummer to hunt out of when a 87 toyota does the same thing. How is the bounch on the signal when in Granite?

The marshal collars I hunted with weren't as strong as the intello collars from tracker. I know the batteries will break you but the intello is the strongest collar I have hunted with by far. As far as bounce with the granite, the intello's seem to be especially apt to create bounce. I don't know about the marshals in that area.

I haven't used marshall's collars, but will be buying one somewhere along the line to see for myself. I do agree with Bearkiller that the tracker intello collars give a strong signal, and I like mine very much. Paul Conway.

Maybe that is your problem, if you cant see that there is a difference in a 1987 toyota and a hummer then you will never see the difference in collars and tracking systems.
It is pretty simple in my oppinion a tracking system should be made simple to use and most people don't know how to use the systems they have, for example there are alot of tricks you can use to elimanate bounce, but most people think all they need to do is point the atena and get a signal on their hounds, don't get me wrong that is the way it should be and that is what the Marshall people have done...Make it more simple to opperate and use ,with a stronger signal and more accurate signal. But you will pay for what you get and they know it , just like a 1987 toyota doesn't have the clearance , power and 4x4 system that a hummer has, not to mentiion comfort, but if you are happy with the 1987 stuff then I don't think you will be happy with the technology of 2007 because some people just can't let go of the past, thinking it is better.... Well I hunted hounds in the past as my father did and his father and his and I am here to tell you those men that said the tracking system arent' as good as the old fashion way of foot , are long gone and by the way side and they lost alot of dogs they never recovered.
If your dogs aren't worth a $169 then I would keep useing want you are useing.
No I am not a sellsman for Marshall I just believe in a good product and until I see something better( which I haven't) then I will keep telling people that want to know of the best product ont he market. And trust me it is nothing from 1987

sure is a difference the 87 toyota won't break down nearly as much at the hummer!!!!

Gotta go, have to saw a leg off each of my hounds so they hunt closer until I can afford to put Marshall collars on them.

What was I thinking using Wildlife Materials and Tracker Collars. I do like your passion very much Mr. Pacojack- based on that alone I do believe Marshall does make a good collar. Jut go easy on us heathens. enjoy, Paul Conway.
