Default RE: WHA ARTICLE IN OUTDOOR LIFE

ORIGINAL: HAZCON7

I just got my copy of Outdoor Life this evening and read the article - better late than never I suppose. And even though the darting aspect of the article may no longer be valid I was repulsed to read something new....

They are going to be GPS tracking some of the deer (hmmm the biggest ones perhaps?)

I also found the title of the article quite funny given the recent thread from our own stubborn megalomaniac - titled "Unfair Chase"
I wonder how they plan on tracking the animals via GPS now that they are no longer being drugged?

It was my understanding that the GPS tracking devices would be attatched to the projectile with the drugs on it. One of their biggest concerns was the fact that the projectiles may fall out of the animals after the shot thus rendering the devices all but useless.

Do they plan on tagging the deer beforehand and only tracking their movements after the shot, or will they eliminate the GPS tracking all together?

Your thoughts?
