Title: Tucking gps collar antenna into collar
Post by: huntnfmly on April 25, 2022, 02:31:43 PM: Hey guys
Anybody do this to keep them from flopping aroun a lot and how much range did you lose on the tracking?
Thanks

After he chewed it, I took the whole antennae off. The receiver worked fine but accuracy bounced around a bit, maybe +/- 100' is all.
