Which hunting dog trackers will stop working and why?

When the 2G and 3G networks shut down in 2025, older hunting dog trackers will stop working. For hunters, this may mean that equipment that has been reliable suddenly becomes unusable. By upgrading to a 4G hunting dog tracker, such as Rex or Vexo, you get a modern and future-proof solution that will work for many years.

MiniFinder Vexo is the perfect replacement if you have previously used an Atto Pro or similar simpler models for hunting. Vexo is a simple and affordable hunting dog tracker for hunters who primarily need reliable positioning. It is robust, easy to use, and future-proof thanks to 4G support.

MiniFinder Rex, on the other hand, is the complete hunting dog tracker – equipped with every function you can think of, and more. In addition to precise real-time positioning, Rex offers:

• Bark indicator and bark counter
• Voice command directly from your phone to the tracker
• Vibration command remotely
• Sound command with multiple modes
• LED light visible up to 200 meters
• Long battery life of up to 100 hours
• Suitable for both large and small dogs with a weight of only 100 grams

How long does a hunting dog GPS tracker last?

A GPS tracker for hunting dogs lasts as long as it can connect to the network and has sufficient battery life. Rex has up to 100 hours of battery time and is designed for long-term use, even during intensive hunts. Vexo is developed for hunters who want a reliable but more straightforward solution.

The general lifespan of consumer electronics is around 3–5 years before batteries and components begin to deteriorate, while more robust products, such as hunting equipment, often last 5–10 years. That is why it is important to choose a device that is not only physically durable but also future-proof.

Hunting dog tracker with mobile phone for easy use

Both Rex and Vexo connect to the MiniFinder Hunter app on your mobile phone. There you can see your hunting dog’s position in real time and share the information with the hunting team. Since the app is free to download, the entire team can access the information without additional fees.

If you are considering buying a hunting dog tracker, the choice is simple:

• Rex is for hunters who want extra features such as a bark indicator, LED light, and the ability to send commands remotely.
• Vexo is for hunters who want a robust and affordable hunting dog GPS tracker focused on accurate positioning.
  
  

Invest future-proof with a 4G hunting dog tracker

The most important thing today is to choose a 4G hunting dog tracker. As the networks are modernized, support for older technology disappears. Many operators have already started shutting down 3G in parts of the country, and by 2025 the network will be completely gone. With Rex and Vexo, you can be sure your hunting dog tracker will continue to function even after 2G and 3G are history. When both 2G and 3G are shut down, only GPS trackers with 4G will work. Rex and Vexo are therefore two of the most sustainable options on the market.

Summary

When choosing a hunting dog tracker, you need to think about both functions and technology. Many older products will soon stop working as 2G and 3G disappear. MiniFinder Rex and MiniFinder Vexo, on the other hand, are modern 4G devices that will continue to work for many years to come. Rex is the complete alternative with more features, while Vexo is a simple and cost-effective choice.

Get a MiniFinder hunting dog tracker today – and absolutely no later than the end of 2025. Many operators have already started shutting down their networks, so don’t wait until your current tracker stops working.
