Which beep beep system?

My tax return isnt going to be as big as i thought it would and it looks like I will have to buy a used tracking system instead of the garmin i had hoped for. Who makes the best beep beep systems? I like the more compact style of the tracker systems but are they as good?

I have a wildlife and it works pretty good and I also have had a tracker classic before to. If you want one to carry on your side go to ebay and look at them there is the cheapiest place.

classic works good for me

I see used garmins on here all the time..They are cheaper than a beep beep..Do whatever you want but I'd save a little more and wait till I could afford a garmin..Throwing money away on a beep beep..

Look on the classifieds under OTHER. You may find a good tracker for less the you thought.

Get a used Garmin...they are cheaper than alot think...Garmin that have the DC 30 collars are running for 500 new...got my garmin cheap...with two collars for 400

Posted by arhightimber on 01-15-2011 06:32 PM:

I am always a little earie of used garmins...dont know why.

Posted by Stokes08 on 01-15-2011 06:41 PM:

mine has worked great...if theres anything wrong with them they are usally still under warranty...one of my collars was messing up and they fixed it for free...

Posted by CooperCreek on 01-15-2011 08:13 PM:

I would look for a garmin, first and foremost. Buying a beep beep, in my mind, would be like going out and buying a 10 year old computer. You spent the money, and are already way behind times.

Give Valley Creek, or maybe one of the other bigger supply places a call. I know Valley Creek has had refurbished Garmin handhelds before, along with used DC-30's. And I believe Redgy told me they would warranty them for 90 days, which is better than nothing.

just baught a new garmin with a dc 30 from LL bean for 460$

Or look up Redgy Ramsey on this board.

They don't have the refurb units all the time, but he can probably at least tell you if they expect to have some anytime soon.

I use the deer pack's Quicktrack system with Wildlife collars AND my Garmin unit on my coonhounds. Have only had an issue once with my Garmin, but I like to be extra careful. If you hunt a lot of areas that you're very familiar with, you'll learn how to pinpoint your dog pretty accurately with a "beep beep" system, but it sure is convenient to see how to drive there (or find a shorter walking route) on the Garmin LOL....

I have used a Tracker Maxima for about Ten Years now, and have not had a single problem with it.
I recomend getting Sealed Tracking collars from L&L though, and you will have a good easy to carry tracking system that will last you for several years.

Keep the money you get and save it for a while. The new GPS's will be out in a while. You will be able to pick up the others pretty cheap and you will be able to save a little more to go with what you are getting back. It will be worth the wait to be able to cary something in your pocket that will show you your dogs, a map to how to get to them and a guideing system to take you back to the truck back tracking right back threw the same water crossings you crossed to get there.
