I was looking into buying a Quick Track tracking collar, because that's all that F n T's carries, but I didn't see anywhere about the range that the collars get. I even got on their website and didn't see an approximate range.

Do they compare to Wildlife collars?

Thanks!

I of course don't know a approximate distance because I don't use the astro but I have never lost my dogs. I use the quick track receiver as well so that may make a difference.

Although when mine tear up or battery runs down. I'm buying the midnight tracker, tracking collars- much cheaper and will do the same job.

I have 3 that are around 10 years old. Two had new batteries in them at around 7 years, the 3rd is still on the original battery. I haven't used them in two years because I got the Garmin but I did test all three last week , thinking about selling them. All 3 could be picked up at 5-6 miles with my MN10 and about 2 Miles with my Maxima.

Depending on location and the tracking box I would say 3 to 6 miles. I live in East NC and that's what I would get with mine. I have 10 we use deer hunting and never had the deer dogs go out of range. I also use there qtm5000 box. If you were looking at the beep beep collars in my opinion they are the best. But the garmin can't be beat.

We've always used a Quick Track box with Wildlife collars on our deer dogs with no problems, but do have a couple QT collars as well. Had a couple dogs get almost out of range, but I'd say they were over 7 miles out at least when things started to get fuzzy as long as the batteries are kept up.

Thanks for the info!
They sound decent, so I might as well give them a try. Would love a Garmin, but can't afford one at the moment so the Beep Beep will have to get the job done.

I Appreciate it!
Laura
