I have had great success using just the Garmin unit. Set it to point mode, 2.5 second update.
I use a hand held holster I bought off of eBay. Made a lanyard that clips on and off at each end. Stitched a strap directly to the hand held unit. I pair with a Garmin watch as I have a hard time hearing the on point tone.
My hunt starts with turning on the collar and hand held. Once it initializes I hit start new hunt and mark the truck. Then lock screen and place it in my shell pouch.
Here are some pictures it hopefully clarifies what I am trying to describe.
