Abstract

The remote tracking arrow comprises an arrow body and an arrow head arranged in a conventional arrow arrangement. The arrow body is configured as a conventional arrow body except that it includes a sensor assembly on its end which is adjacent to the conventional arrow head. The sensor assembly is defined by a permanent sensor integrated into the arrow body and connected to a detachable sensor which is removably attached to the exterior of the arrow body. In operation, when the remote tracking arrow is shot and enters a targeted animal (whether passing through or not), the detachable sensor will contact the bodily fluid of the animal and adhere thereto, causing at least a portion thereof to detach from the arrow body. Once detached, both the detached portion of detachable sensor and the permanent sensor, activate, enabling them to be separately tracked by a geolocation receiver.
