On your e-collar, do you use the long posts or the short posts for your coonhound?

It appears you and I are the only ones using e-collars.

if ya use the long posts on a hound that ya hunt hard all night it'll make sores on em..

Thanks Loren,

The problem I have is some of my hounds are rougher haired than others and longer. I guess I'll just have to experiment. I just got a new Tritronics and I didn't get the range I thought I should last night and I think it's my fault not theirs. I'm going to test the system without dogs to see if the range is as good as they claim.

That's the issue I usally have with mine, is if the collar is tight enough or not. I don't want thedogchoking to death when hes hammering the tree. Especially on those hot nights.

I've been using the long posts, but I always feel like the collar is too tight.

Post your results for distance and what system you have.

I have thought of giving my wife a collar and a cell phone and then driving away to see how far I could still beep her at. let us know
