Well I have been behind in the times for to long.And loseing lady was a wake up call for me.I just bought my first tracking system.I got it in today its the Innotek Rd 400 system with two collars.I can track 216,217,219 and 220 collars.But the collars that came with the system look kind cheap..I am going to need more collars before next deer season.What kind of tracking collars do you guys like?

Honestly bud I dont have any tracking-collars because I cant afford them.... My uncle is the only one that hunts with us that wants to buy any for the dogs and I guess we usually hunt with enough folks that we dont need them but it is still nice and will save gas.... Cant afford them so for now the name tags on the original collar will have to do I guess, glad you got you some collars so takemeasy and have a goodun....-tim

Hey chris,
I have the same exact system, well the RD-300 the only difference i can only track frequency 220. ITs a pretty good system for the money, but i would say buy as many collars as you run dogs in a hunt. so if you turn four out you need four collars. The only problem with innotek the collars are kinda expensive compared to the other. range wise it says 5-7 miles i would say more like 3-5 miles. but overall i like the collars and the system, i just don't know about the price

We use Titely , made up in Sydney , Don't know if they are sold overseas , but certainly suit us , good range in a straight line.
Haven't lost a dog since we had them and Brendan even found Toby , although he had drowned.
The collar was a few inches under water, and we still found him

Quick Track collars DD...I like them better than everything else I have tried. We have found them in rivers and buried..in creeks...you name it and people will do it with those collars...

We also use Innotek. I'd buy more collars for more dogs, too.

Quick track is the way to go. We have been using the same collars that we bought back in the mid 90's and they are still going strong.

i like them chris, that my opinion cheaper to replace, in the long run people tell me the sealed are cheaper. but i haven't found that to be true. the biggest thing is when you replace the batteries make sure you don't strip the thread.

I've only had the sealed collars. Everybody that I hunt with runs the sealed collars. In our club if you have dogs then you run trackin collars. From what I have seen with the replaceable batteries is that the batteries will sometime just quit in the middle of a hunt and it is also easier for someone to disable the collar if they take it.
