As for collars, I think it is for the most part a waste of money. The gps collers cost around 3,000 dollars, not to mention what is cost to apply them. I would love that job, hang out of a helo and shoot game, snare bears, and trap wolves and cats to take a tooth some dna and get paid to boot. No seasons. Not to mention the fact that the collars ruin the pelt on furbearers.
