Re: dew or moisture

Heads up for Garmin users

If you are using garmin collars and also use the training (shock) collars be careful. I was hunting cats last spring and was running a pretty good track when one hound just blipped off the map. I got in front of the other hounds but to find out that my little female had already went thru. so I tried...

Second the unit I have is a 2 collar unit and but I only have 2 green, 2 yellow, 2 orange, 2 red, 3 brown...

Re: MINNESOTA BOBCATS

I been out scouting quite a bit and have only saw about a 1/3 the tracks is saw 2 years ago. I havent been seeing much for kittens tracks either. but then again it doesnt help when I have neighbors that dont care about how many they take either. over harvesting doesnt help the numbers either.

I have had alot of young people ask me how many and thats what I tell them. Whats all your guys/gals opionions.....

Re: looking for a 2 Way radio with a base like the old CB's

Do they make a Marine Radio that transmitts FRS/GMRS. I beleive that is what I am trying to find is a FRS/GMRS radio. The kind you just walk into any store and buy and can use as soon as you put batteries in it. I understand about licensing certain radios bands but I would like to avoid that. During...

I use my truck alot (ranching, hound hunting,etc) and everyone nowdays uses those cheap hand held radios (2 way, or ...

I am wondering if they even make one like this. I am about ready to take a regular 2 way radio and duc...

Re: garmin question

I agree with what ferjr says but just wanted to add that with my DC40's it takes a heck of a lot longer to sync with the hand held unit. like almost 30 mins. and yes the 40's do drop signal more than the 30's but I have noticed just a bit better range but nothing to equal the amount of frustration o...
