I'm sure not going to lose any sleep over a missing wolf. :bash:

Depending on the make of the collar it does one of 2 things
Those GPS units typically take locations reading a couple times a day and then transmit the data on a regular schedule (Either once a week or once a month). The key is to have a biologist in the area with a receiver at the scheduled transmission times.  If the subject animal has left the expected area, then the transmission are not received. 
The other way the newer ones work is it had a data tracker that collects 2times a day the lat long position and saves up the info... then once a week -once a month it sends a battery life measure with the new data.... When the battery is low the collar disengages and Sends a out a pulse signal to be picked up and retrieved for further use...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

This is bad news for sure. Now they will request a replacement animal, plus a few pinch hitters. May as well also request a wolf recovery zone to keep the possibility of human contact to a minimum. We also need more cash and better equipment. Plus a few million to study the issue. It is all for our common shared goal to return this majestic animal to it's rightful place at the top of the food chain....you understand.

Perhaps the good folks in OR are doing their job and protecting what it their heritage.

A GPS collar can't send out a signal if it was used for target practice.

Wonder if they will find it in a box getting ready to be shipped to Canada.

Or better yet maybe those Bios mishandled it and they are now trying to do a conspiracy to their mishap.

Maybe it was beat up by the youngsters of the pack and is hiding out now old and frail in a cave somewheres.

Maybe it was shot.

Maybe it fell in the river and drowned.

The point is who really gives a crap, it was one less fricken wolf, that was a dominant elk/deer killing machine that has been taken out of the gene pool. So woohoo!!!!!!
