Thread: GPS recording of animals shot...

Yeah he's about 10 years behind the times, we've been doing that here in NZ for the last decade recording GPS tracks and kills and using ARCGIS to show it on the computer (even in 3D if you want to be flash). We also require a tail from our hunters as proof of the kill, otherwise it could be open to abuse (potential dishonesty about actual number of kills if someone wanted to just walk around pushing the button), by gathering tails as well as time-stamped GPS data it provides an assurance to everyone that an honest job is being done.

It also protects our hunters, as they can be accused being somewhere where they aren’t supposed to be. But when you bring up their GPS track with a date and time stamp on the computer and show the person making the allegation, they soon realise there is no foundation to the accusations and back right off.
