Average speeds for garmin owners?

[northernhare]

I don't really pay attention to the average at the end of the day but I like to isolate certain chases and see the speeds. I think the Garmins are a lot fun to mess with.

are you guys pausing tracking between rabbits or just letting it run all day- ?
what are your speeds running just one dog,?

after reading this thread -- ive reset my gps twice this weekend to try this --i had 300 miles at 2.7 when i started
-

saturday --- breaking thru crust quite a bit---running quite a bit in cedar thickets, pretty decent scenting----------- 2.9 mph and 23 miles - 2 dogs, just checked one collar 5 hare killed - restarted a hare quickly except once
--i guess dogs were hunting almost as fast as theyre running

next day -- , i think crust holding dog up a little more -started later and quit early , just one dog , 19miles at 3.2 - ran first hare over 3 hours almost never leaving a few acres of very thick,, head high cedars- all tracked up, pretty ugly the last hour of that run , finally hare committed suicide

-it was down to 2.7 after that run

i kept thinking , wow this hare is really killing my average ,hope somebody shoots him - the next one , ,totally different run , he was back up to 3.89 when that one was killed , running in big open cedar swamp -straight out, straight back,,hare shot at about 20 times before it was killed ,, i think that is some indication of speed dog was running and the team of sharpshooters i was hunting with - -- dog pretty much staying on top of crust , not much snow under big cedars-- very little thick stuff except blowdowns ,, - this dog can run fast at times- was hoping to set a new world speed record ,

i wanted to reset it so bad . what im getting at is there is so many variables- same dog ,same day,

the second run all took place very near the first run -a whole different kind of race --


after that,,, getting tracked up , steadily slower and more checks , didnt move but should have to keep speed up , lol back to 3.2

i cant wait to try this out in training season ,,
no shooting-- no hunters turning the hare -no snow, no time used to start another hare , cool damp ground , just curious what speed will be ,
i was very happy with garmin never looking at this data --- you guys have ruined me now

I reset mine at the beginning of each hunt and it runs all day which oftentimes still means only one rabbit.
