There are several factors to keep in mind when selecting a tracking system. A tracking system will preform best in flat country. Mountains, hill s and thick brush will reduce signal reception and range. Many companies rate a collar in line of site miles. This is misleading.
Most hunters expect to be able to track their hound the stated line of site ,miles.
They soon discover there is a difference between line of site range and actual hunting range. We will give you actual hunting ranges that you can expect a system to perform within and not line of site ranges. This should make it clear why the hunting range will be less than the line of site ranges you see advertised. In closing we should mention that we are also hunters like yourself. We know what expectations and needs you have in a tracking system.
