Turkey Transmitter
The Turkey Transmitter GPS monitoring backpacks have been specially designed for studying these magnificent birds.
VECTRONIC Aerospace applies rugged, reliable, industry-leading wildlife monitoring technology to the study of wild turkey ecology. This transmitter uses a micro-GPS to understand the scale at which wild turkeys move through local and regional habitats — enhancing biologists’ abilities to target areas to lift or restore wild turkey populations throughout their range. This GPS monitoring backpack offers almost unlimited sampling interval options and allows for wide flexibility in scheduling location acquisition without satellite cost and more dependable performance. Secured by a trio of expandable cords, this is an easy-to-use device that delivers important data from a small and comfortable design.
