I've owned birddogs for a long time and I lost a dog a couple of years ago. I should have purchased a tracking collar much sooner. I asked a friend who has been working and training birddogs for a long time and he recommended that I look at the Garmin ASTRO 430 and also recommended that I consider Gun Dog Supply. I did both and am glad I did. I'm still learning all of the features but it has worked great right out of the box.

Great collar with super fast tracking capabilities. You MUST have rechargeable batteries for the handheld controller and ALWAYS carry and extra set when doing long all day hunts. It will burn through them. Small price to pay for the most accurate/fastest tracking collar manufactured. Highly recommend
Pros
Fast Accurate Reliable
Cons
Burns through batteries

Great GPS Tracker

Both the handheld and the tracking collar work great and are easy to use. Easily keep track of my dog. I would recommend considering getting the rechargeable batteries for it. Otherwise you might be going through a lot of AA batteries if you're using it on daily basis. If you use only occasionally that might not be an issue.
Pros
Works really well, easy to use, and robust.
Cons
No real cons I've experienced.

I buy all of pointing dog equipment from Gun Dog supply. They own and understand pointing dogs, have a good line of products, get the shipments out quickly and completely guarantee their products no questions asked. I particularly like the YouTube videos Steve puts out regarding features of products and how to set them up properly. It makes everything much easier rather than having to search through all the manuals. Overall, one of the best companies I deal with on any product line.

My 12 year old English Springer Spaniel, losing his hearing, has lately not been able to hear my calls or whistles. When we became separated this summer while trout fishing, it became apparent that measures were necessary, especially with the upcoming pa'tridge season. I called Gun Dog Supply, spoke with Steve, explained the situation, and he recommended this product. It has surpassed my expectations, and I am well pleased.

Just what I was looking for
September 16, 2022
There are lots of options when looking for an electronic sporting dog collar. I always start an inquiry like this one at Gun Dog Supply. Excellent review of the capabilities of this combination which was exactly what I was thinking about. I needed a gps location collar for hunting grouse in hilly, heavy cover with a young, still too rangey shorthair. She has always responded to my whistle, but this will give me some peace of mind hunting new territory. Everything about the search, transaction, directions for use, and fulfillment of the order was top notch. A great product and process.
Pros
A great tool for single or multiple dog tracking. Intuitive, durable, does what I need
Cons
None really, the dog adapts to the new device and antenna quickly

Garmin Astro 430
April 5, 2021
Well i had problems locating my 10 month old english pointer so I purchased the Garmin Astro 430. When it came in the mail i got it out and went to my office to figure it out. I wanted to set it up on my computer first and became discouraged when i seen how technical it was. i packed to up to return that day. Then i decided to try it on the dog before i returned it. When i let the dog out of his box. he took off and i quickly realized how effective the garmin tracker really is. Within 20 minutes the handheld beeped and read that FESTUS was on point 40 yards away. Festus was on point and flused a covey of quail right over my head. IT WORKS. It would have been a mistake to return or exchange it because off it accuracy, quality and capability. Definitely worth $650 in my opinion. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! STEVE SNELL DEFINITLY KNOWS THE BEST DOG TRACKERS OUT THERE!!! THANKS STEVE!!Clay B
Pros
ACCURATLY LOCATED MY DOG
TOLD ME WHEN MY DOG WAS ON POINT
BASECAMP SHOWS WHERE AND HOW FAR MY DOG TRAVELED
TOO MANY PROS TO LIST

A homer in for Garmin
January 11, 2021
I bought the Astro 430/t5 for my German Shorthair and it has worked great for upland hunting. We went to South Dakota with several friends and it was great to be able to see my dog working in front of all of us. In many of the convenience stores, bars, and hotels were posters of lost dogs. With up to a 9 mile range, I was never concerned about where my dog was.
Pros
Alerts when dog was on point. Todo map was great for looking over new hunting area. Compass gave instant direction and distance to dog.
Cons
The only reason for 4 stars is because the receiver is not rechargeable but uses AA batteries unlike my other Garmin products that are rechargeable. Better carry extra batteries.

Incredible Product and the best site to purchase high dollar devices
October 9, 2020
Gun Dog Supply is the only place to purchase these high dollar, no discount/coupon items. When Garmin quoted a 5-8 week turnaround Gun Dog Supply literally shipped the same day. I find that astounding that the actual manufacturer does not keep their items in stock. Gun Dog Supply is the only place I will shop for my dog related items.
Pros
Fast shipping, great video descriptors that help to select the exact model and item I needed
Cons
Bark detect does not work. I've asked my 5 teammates who have this same device if they ever got it to work and the answer was no. Garmin adds a disclaimer that "it does not work in all areas" so I guess the end result is, it doesn't work anywhere.

Love this product
September 3, 2020
This is great product if you have a big running dog or hunt/ train with thick cover around. Fast updates on dog location and lots of great features most I'll never probably use but they are available. Extremely long battery life on the collar have used it for 1 month+ and haven't had to recharge it yet. Use good AA batteries in the controller though or you will end up changing them every couple of weeks.
Pros
Fast updates
Long range
Ease of use
Sturdy clip
Collar has great battery life
Nice mapping features
Cons
Uses cheap AA up fast
Even though you can choose the type of dog ( pointer in my case ) it will still say your dog has treed an animal sometimes.
Compass can be a little finicky and you will need to recalibrate it from time to time.

Review for Garmin Astro 430 with T5 COMBO (1-dog GPS System)

Great reception between collar & handheld, relatively easy to set up & operate. I have a Brittany & wish I would have gotten the mini collar. Full size collar is OK, but the mini would have been better.

I love the Garmin 430. I made the mistake of not getting the trainer combo unit; that would work much better for me. I recommend spending the extra $150 and get the trainer combo. Great Product and great help from GunDogSupply!

Easy to use and it is awesome to know where my dog is at all times
October 12, 2016
I really love the peace of mind the Garmin Astro 430 gives me while hunting. I mainly hunt Grouse and Woodcock so we are usually in heavy cover. I have always hunted with a bell and would have the difficult task of finding my dog when she went on point. I have had her 5 yards away and could't find her. With the Astro I always know exactly where she is. The on point notification is awesome. The dog direction and distance screen leads me right to my dog. I know when I am getting close so I can start looking for my dog and also try to look for possible openings for shooting The only draw back I see so far is that the battery system for the hand held could be better. Over all it is easy to use and it is awesome to know where my dog is at all times no matter if she is on the move or on point. Thick cover doesn't seem to be a problem. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to hit the woods with a dog.

Review for Garmin Astro 430 with T5 COMBO (1-dog GPS System)
August 3, 2016
The 430 works great if that is the only device you are using. I tried running both the 430 and 320 together and ran into some issues with it. If we just talk about the 430 then performance is great, but I'm sure there are a lot of hunters out there like myself that need to know about the issues when trying to run both handheld units together.
