Yep! Between the gps in the car, gps in the phone, they know exactly where you’ve been. Then the collars have a mortality indicator, poof, they figure out who was there when it died. Pulling a Yellowstone and throwing the collar in the river is only for TV.

All this assumes a perfect situation and you were where few others are. More likely scenario is there’s dozens or hundreds of people passing the area during the 12-24 hours or longer it takes someone to check the mortality signal.

Like I said before, there’s been a pile of collared wolves shot and poisoned around here usually close to the road and no charges filed.

It seems to me that instead of killing them, if you just shot off the males reproductive organs- it solves the problem and nobody goes to jail. Grin

I wonder;
1) if your cell phone is in airplane mode….does it still ping the towers?
I don’t think so

2) Hypothetically, if you gut shoot the wolf….its as good as dead and they can run off a long ways like that.

3) I’ve seen .223 vld’s after blasting coyotes and there is bullet fragments but rarely the whole bullet left to analyze.

No phones and copper bullets
