My Job
New technology
I use very new technology. The Telemetry Receiver I use is basically a mini computer. It stores all the frequencies from all the caribou that we've collared.
One type collar put on the animal is a Global Positioning System (GPS), which has a logging device that marks the actual location of the animal for every hour of the day for an entire year.
The VHF collar just sends out a specific-frequency beacon.
