Re: Garmin Astro
Hey Doug, I was using a friends hound tracker with a large fold out antennae. It worked good but was a pain in the butt. Obviously, as you know, steep hills greatly diminishes that signal too. The new gizmo is a lot easier to use. Power lines do not seem to have any affect on it. I have had the dog ...

Re: Garmin Astro
Thanks Neil,
I think I'll order one and see if it helps. If not, I'll send it to Doc Favor, it's flat over on his side of the state.

Does the LR antenna help much with hills. In our country that is what kills the signal.
Thanks

Re: Garmin Astro portable antennas
I have not. But if you go to this link there are lots of old threads about it. Apparantly the majority of the hound guys use the longe range antennaes.

It is amazing to see a cougar track that is a few days old. It is frozen and has fresh snow in it. Walk a hound up to it and he sticks his nose in the track and just bellars like the cat just ran by.

Re: High calorie supplement
I have always given straight beef fat to a dog that is underweight. It also works good for those hard keepers, or if you have dogs that are working extra hard in the winter. Buy a few lbs and chunk it up in about 1" squares. I have never seen a dog that would not gobble it right down.

Metabolizable energy?
A question for you food guys like Ezzy.
Do the ME figures translate to anything that we can actually relate to?
Example. Food A has 350 kcals per cup, Food B has 500 kcals per cup.
So can you really feed 61% of food B to achieve the same results as food A.
Regards
Gary

You seen any sharpy chicks yet?
I hope the chukar chicks are late as I'm sure the hard cold rains the last couple weeks would not be good on the little ones.
