Improve animal safety with VHF Tracking Dart

When immobilizing animals in challenging environments, such as dense forests or high vegetation, the worst-case scenario is that darted animals hide before the tranquilizer takes effect and cannot be found in time.

However, with a VHF Tracking Dart, you will always be able to find the animal again - easily, quickly and without the need for costly backup measures like following the animal from a helicopter. 

The super-light VHF transmitter (2.7 grams incl. battery) allows for precise and reliable immobilization, and with a range of 2000 m, you can confidently find the darted animal again using your preferred VHF receiver.
