I just got back in to running hounds this year.I bought the Garmin first.didn't want to loose what I just bought.I like the fact that I know where my dogs are at all times and can see exactly what my young dog is doing.that didn't help when the young dog took out after a deer though fri. night.took her back to the bed she jumped it from and had a heart to heart with her.with the Garmin I can find them when they are treed in deep ravines where I cant hear them .no more running around looking.
