Are most upland hunters using the Alpha so everything is on one collar? Or do you prefer your GPS and ecollar separate? I like the tube style remotes. Is it too cumbersome to mess with a screen with gloves on? I'm getting back into bird hunting. Dog being trained. Looking into ecollars & GPS's. My intitial thinking was TT Pro 550 & Astro DC50. The all-in-one system is appealing. But with seperating the two, I feel has its advantages also. Everything is being updated and discontinued so fast. I want items to use for years. Maybe seperating them, I can get more life out of at least one item. Just brainstorming. Any thoughts, advice, experiences with much appreciated. I have a Brittany and hunt quail in Oklahoma.
