well that would be another reason to maybe add a delay on it
as , say as an example, you make a bad hit(they happen)
at a deer at say 3 pm, and you want to wait over night before going after and its a typical deal to WAIT before tracking a poor hit deer!
so, now you waited till sun rise and enough good light to track it can be say 7 am before light is OK to track,
that's almost your whole battery's life!
and if you PUSH a wounded deer sooner, it can run a LONG ways and then your back to waiting again for some time to pas, for it to lay down again !
as again, on a GOOD hit deer something like this really isn;t needed, its mostly for poor hits that things go wrong and time ends up being needed to find them!
and keep in mind a lot of hunters are new and not super experienced in tracking, so many will wait before pushing a deer! or push too soon and jump a deer and then wait and so on!
Battery life will be a BIG part of a device like this in selling and being worth there costs to have!
