Tracking collar questions

[Nufo]

Looking for some suggestions. I am new to the site and this is my first post.

I currently have a patterdale/bulldog cross and have been hunting him on coon (in season).

I hunt some property that has a lot of Bobcats on it and I am thinking about cutting him loose on one. I am not sure if he will tree but he seems to have a half decent nose. I come across the bobcats all the time so he would be let loose on a super hot track.

I am in California so I know that the GPS tracking systems are not legal. Here are my questions:

1.) What other options are there and how do I fit one on a 24lb dog?

2.) I also know of a few others who run the garmins anyway. What do you all think of this?

I am really just getting started on hunting fur with dogs and plan to possibly add other dogs to my pack in the future. I currently hunt with my buddy and our pack of patterdale & pattedale crosses

Thanks for the input,
Mike

Most tracking collar Co. make a 4000hr collar for beagle's that would fit your dog
