After six months running it through swamp, ridge country, and thick cedar — this is the best all-around GPS tracking system on the market for hound hunters. Four-mile range held up in real conditions. Intuitive even with cold gloves.
The gold standard for started dogs. 500-yard range, 21 levels of stimulation, and built tough enough to handle daily use in the field. We've run this through thick brush, standing water, and everything Tennessee has to throw at a collar.
Built like a tank. Loaded two 70-lb Walkers in this box, drove four hours on the interstate, and both dogs arrived calm and secure. The venting is excellent and the finish has held up through two seasons of hard use.
Lights up a treeline at 150 yards. The red mode for moving between stands without spooking game is a great touch. Battery life is genuinely impressive — we've run it for 8-hour hunts without a charge.
The pockets are in the right places, the blaze is bright enough to matter, and it breathes well enough that you won't be soaked through by 10 PM. One of the few vests we've found that's actually designed for hound hunters.
We only review gear we've actually run in the field. New reviews added regularly as we test more products.

The Pro Series Dog Box is built like a tank. Loaded two 70-lb Walkers in it, drove four hours on the interstate, and both dogs were calm and secure. Venting is excellent, finish is top-notch.
NightHunter headlamp is the real deal. This thing lights up a treeline at 150 yards. The red mode for moving between stands is a great touch — I won't hunt without it now.
