Message: <blockquote data-quote="SLE" data-source="post: 192615" data-attributes="member: 3889">Starting to consider a new E-collar. I have been running a Dogtra 2000 T&B for the last 13 years and have been extremely pleased with it. It's been super durable and reliable. I'm on my second set of batteries and don't plan to send it in for a third set, the entire unit has seen it's better days. I like the idea of the GPS Trackers however I don't want to have to be looking at the screen when walking into heavy cover to flush a bird. Not sure if anyone makes a GPS unit that also has an integrated beeper? I haven't seen any yet but thought I'd see what everyone is using. I have a pointing dog and we hunt a lot of cattails and heavy cover especially late in the season. Most of the time I just run my current collar on point mode or manually beep it, once the dog locks up on a bird, the beeper starts. There are a lot of instances where I get within feet of the dog while he's on point and I still can't see him. This is where my reticence to a GPS collar comes in. I can't be looking at a screen to see exactly where the dog is and walking in to flush a bird. 80% of the time, a good E-Collar with and integrated beeper that can be ran in a few modes, is more than adequate.  The other 20% of the time I feel like a GPS would be kind of useful, around the house, windy days working CRP where I can't hear the beeper well, etc.Any words of wisdom from those that have used both types and or if there is a combo GPS/beeper collar out there? I don't want separate units and want to be able to control the beeper remotely.Thanks for any help</blockquote>
