One is a regular collar, one is the GPS tracking unit and one is used as a signal for the dog so the owner can direct him.

Is there a place we can go to see what the results are or what this research is showing us about quail?

Additional Info

Field & Stream's Chad Love recently traveled to the west Texas plains for an opportunity to witness how cutting-edge gundog technology is being used to help researchers learn more about managing wild quail. Every year, GPS-tracking-collar manufacturer Garmin teams up with area quail hunters and their dogs at the Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch in Roby, Texas to locate and map quail populations on the sprawling research ranch. The data will ultimately be used in the ranch's ongoing research, but big-running bird dogs are the stars in this show. See what happens when the tailgates drop.
