I'm going to buy a squirrel dog in the near future. Everyone I talk to recommends the Alpha 100. I have a hard time spending that much, when I don't even know if the dog will make a good hunter or just a farm dog. Cruising some classifieds, seems to be a lot of the older Garmin Astro lines around.

If you were looking for used tracking gear, what would you want. Had experience with in the past.

Thanks gents,
Lonnie
