Radio collars; Contrary to popular belief these collar or transmitters are not monitored 24 hours a day. There is not a transmitter station similiar, albiet smaller, than a NASA command center situated in the middle of, wherever. Our beloved DNR or some other entity, that is supported by our dollars has to physically go out and FIND these cretures they so inhumanly collar with these un-natural devices. I am, also of the understanding, that they, emit a "beacon" signal, when their body temp falls below a certain temperature, i.e passed on, of course except for the 9, of natural causes. That would be why, if one was so inclined, has a little time to attach said device to some other object, or, has time to get the H&!! outa there!
Of course I could be off base here, so if any non DNR personel would like to enlighten me and all the other inquiring minds on this subject, please, by all means do so. CRASH87
