Abstract
A hunting arrow especially adapted to release a transmitter into a quarry animal to enable location of the quarry after having been shot. Preferably, the transmitter is secured to the hide of the quarry without substantial penetration into the animal. The device is particularly useful in the event that the hunting arrow passes completely through the quarry, or if imbedded therein is broken off or pulled out by the quarry. The arrow may be provided in two slidably engaged parts, with the transmitter releasably retained therein. An attachment device may be provided to remove the transmitter from the arrow and attach it to the quarry. Alternatively, the transmitter may be releasably secured to the outside of the arrow and released upon impact with the target animal.
