If you are an owner of a Garmin Rino Radio and like to hunt, then you are holding magic in your hands. I know that this is a camping blog, but everyone I know that loves to hunt, also loves camping.
So Listen Up!
I’m about to tell you how I use my Garmin Rino 130 to tell me where the elk are.
My hunting partners and I have been using hand held GPS units for some time now and upgraded to the Rino 130’s two years ago. The two biggest reasons that we went to the Garmin Rino Radios is the 5 NOAA weather channels and the ability to know where everyone is at.
The Garmin Rino combines a hand held GPS and a two way radio into one unit which makes it nice to not have to carry two separate units. This also gives you a magic device that allows you to know where the elk are.
Let Me Explain:
The Garmin Rino Radio is fast becoming one of the most popular GPS units among hunters and there is a rino radio behind just about every tree out there.
As mentioned above the Rino allows you to know where your hunting partners are by showing you an icon of them on the GPS map every time they press their button to talk.
The Rinos have a scan feature that allows you to scan every available channel and it will stop on a channel whenever someone presses their talk button.
Now, as soon as a hunter sees some elk crossing a hillside, the first thing they will do is get on their Garmin Rino Radio and tell their hunting partners exactly where the elk are and which direction they are heading.
Are you starting to see where I’m going with this?
Once we get into position and we know where everyone is at, we will switch our radios to scan and wait for the other hunters that are out there to tell us where the elk are and which way they are heading.
We tried this for the first time last year on opening morning and had an elk within 15 minutes. Some hunters that were two hilltops away alerted us to a small herd of elk that were moving to the North from their position and that allowed us to get in position.
So, if you are the proud owner of a Garmin Rino Radio, make sure you take it hunting and give this a try. I would love to hear your comments on what you think of this magic device.
If you would like to get your very own Garmin Rino GPS make sure that you check out eBay before buying anywhere else. They have the best prices you can find on brand new Garmin Rino Radios.
