This seems like a great idea on paper, but what works on paper does not work in real life. This could keep young and upcoming hunters from being able to get into the sport without spending thousands of dollars on tracking equipment. Also this equipment is great when it works but like everything there are times when the terrain or just a jet going across the sky can stop communication with the dog and then you have to wait for the hound to come out on it's own.
