Wildlife Decoys from Custom Robotic Wildlife
Next time you try to shoot a deer out of season you might be the one getting bagged.
Across the nation, poaching is a growing problem. It further endangers protected species and threatens the health of the overall animal population. The amount of illegally killed whitetail deer is estimated being equal to 25-30% of the annual harvest by licensed hunters.
For a few seasons now, law enforcement agencies have been using decoys to hunt the poachers. But these aren’t your grandpappy’s hand-whittled decoys; these critters are endowed with gears and remotes and whatnot.
Custom Robotic Wildlife, a Wisconsin company makes the robotic animals. If you’re in the market for one, they cost around $1,300, but a law enforcement officer can make up the cost with as little as 2 fines. Some report netting as much as $30,000.00 in fines from a single decoy.
