Technology is great but the deer and bear decide the route they take.  Technology does not work 100% in all locations.  Collars are expensive and they new geofenced ones are prohibitive and made so by laws requiring them.  Again they only work when there is a signal. If collars are such a strong issue for deer and bear hounds ask yourself why does that not include rabbit, coon, fox, coyote and bobcat dogs?  What issue are we ignoring to impose the requirement only on a small portion of hound hunters? Is it political pressure by money elitest trying to buy their hatred for hounds so they can stop the hunt?  Now it is deer and bear.  Other hound hunters beware they will be coming after you next.  Divide and conquer is their tactic.
