I have a cheapie that I had altered to be narrow at the sternum. It works fairly well. He runs really hard and it still rubs him. I need something that is soft. I don’t really care if it doesn’t last only one season.

Little spendy. Made in USA. https://www.pykegear.com/

You’ll find may of us here have the Garmin Alpha. 100 or 200i. Really spendy but easy to use and very dependable. You can sometimes find them refurbished, by Garmin, or used. I had the 100 and now the 200i. GPS for you and your dog, training collar. 200i has inReach satellite available, by...

I’ve had a hard time finding a vest that won’t chafe my dogs too, gsp’s, especially in their armpits. Orvis sold one a long time ago that didn’t. It would only last a season or two but I didn’t care. Mendota skid plate, Cuga, Sylmar, etc. all rub my dogs raw. Any new ideas?

Get one right from Garmin.

Thank you. We’re excited to try quail. Checking out the Hays area.

I bought the Alpha, and a tt10, when it first came out. Just replaced a collar with a tt 15 because they don’t repair the 10 anymore. It does exactly what I want: GPS tracking for dogs and me. Controls dogs. Dependable and quiet. Use my set almost daily.

Too close and they tear the bird up.

From Northern Michigan. Any ideas about where to stay. Maybe rent a house. 3-5 guys. 4-6 dogs. General area. Looking for quail and phez. We have pretty good dogs. We’ve never been. We’ve been to IA, SD, ND, Nebraska. Thanks.

Numbers are way down. Still, we had fun. Had to hunt all day. Wore out our dogs.

If you are going to hunt birds forever get a Wing Works vest. And, buy the grouse belt too. It is made in the USA. The very best I have ever had. Right now, I think they are taking some time off. So you would order for next year.

Thanks for sharing. Gave me goosebumps!

Hello, I need a size large Rivers West blaze orange pointer vest for my smaller dog. I bought an xl for my larger dog and really like it. Does anyone know where I can find one? I have looked online with no succes. Seems everyone is out of this size. Thank you.

Hoodie? Just bought an LLBean merino wool hoodie. Yeah, it is almost summer, but this thing is really warm. Got a deal. It'll be nice for our winters up here in Meesheegun. Damn thing is made in Cheye Knee.

I have an original Alpha. I use the supplied clip on the WW breast strap. 4+ years. Wore one clip out. Got a new one. I hunt everywhere. Never had a problem. I bought one of the nice clip on leather holsters. Didn't use it.
