eat all we can and give the rest away. just finished off some fried shoulder meat, backstrap and preacher meat with some catheads and muscadine jelly. it was perty fresh we more or less cut it off the hog and threw it in the frying pan

kevin i would be pleased to get .90 out of mine

 i have the 220 and started out with 3 of the dc30 collars and they do ok i usually dont loose them until the dogs get to 600-900 yards. i recently bought 6 of the dc40 from a coworker i added them to my 220 and done all the updates on them, and went hunting last weekend and i was loosing connection at 200-300 yards with the dc40s, we were in a place that i have tracked with my dc30s and never had an issue. i ordered the tuff skin antennas for the collars and the long  flexible antenna for the 220, i swapped out the antennas yesterday turned all the collars on made sure i had a good signal from them i put them out in the middle of my yard (no trees in the yard to block the signal) i drove down the highway and lost signal at .85 on all 9 collars i thought that i should be able to pick them up further than that. does having several collars on at the same time interferre with the signals like it does with the radio type collars? i have heard people talk about tracking dogs at over a mile in the woods, i dont know what else to do just wondering what kinda range yall get with them, and any suggestions yall might have.

mike-im Sure you get static interference from lots of things, the power lines , alarms on oil pump ,  cell phones have given problems too xm radios that's the same pulses that gives u a interference! i have used the quick track for over a year ! I stop using it for that reason because i have lost good dogs an jagds at that! ya i see yall stand point on insurance to have a back up! but i do hunt south Texas brush an find garmin works just fine!

Need to come hunt our country, not so user friendly. Alot more pines here then you have I d say

bud i do hunt pines too in winnfeild, la...

im not knocking your dogs but all i can say is they must not get out very far cause i hunt in winn, bienville, and natchitoches parishes all the time and my garmin  consistently fails when the dogs get to a little over 1000 yards, and yes i have the long range antennas on my collars and on the handheld and the only way i can track past 1000 yards is if both me and the dogs are in a open cutover. it makes me happy happy happy when a hunting buddy has a sorry ole telemetry collar that i can put on my dogs.

the constitution does give us the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness but i dont remeber it saying anything about financing the ride

i am wanting to buy a 2013. high lifter was the first place i looked but i didnt see much of a selection for the 500 just the bigger ones maybe i didnt look close enough. i will look again

i will be there for a little while on saturday.

well over here in louisiana we run deer with dogs and i have seen several times you could jump a buck in a block of woods nobody get a shot at him then come back to the same block of woods the next morning and jump the same buck. i have seen it happen on more than one occasion.

if anybody knows is there anywhere that sells accessories like stick stoppers, brush guards or bumpers, and lift kits for the mid size ranger 500. all i have been able to find is stuff for the bigger rangers and razrs.

thanks for the info fellers.

can i replace the battery in the collar or do i have to send it back to garmin to do it.

thanks that could be my problem i have never charged them after a hunt i always charge them a day or two before a hunt.

have any of yall had a problem with dc-30 collars not charging up all the way. i have 3 that have not been charging completely the blue light will be off on the collar but when you turn them on they are not charged. just wondering if anybody else had the same problem and what can i do to fix it.

thanks, Noah Cheatwood
