The tracker Supra's are about the smallest I have seen . Probably could put one on a coon, but I figure changing the battery would be a real adventure .... don't think he would like it while you unscrewed the battery cap.

Also, are they small enough to put on coons and will the batteries last a few months?

Steve I thank you for your inputs here. I spoke with Davidson Falconry. Where did you get the case for the transmitter that is on the collar?
