A hunting arrowhead comprising:
- a ferrule having a nose at a front end, a threaded portion at a back end, a recess between the nose and the threaded portion defined by inner surfaces of the ferrule, and a removable cover configured to at least partially enclose the recess;
- a tracking device configured to be removably inserted into the recess, the tracking device being configured to communicate with an external device;
- a removable barb configured to be partially disposed in the recess, the barb having a first end configured to be coupled to the tracking device, a second end extending out from a surface of the ferrule, and a middle portion between the first end and the second end, the middle portion and the first end forming a non-linear angle;
- wherein a first inner surface of the inner surfaces and a second inner surface of the inner surfaces adjacent the first inner surface form a sloped portion near the back end of the ferrule;
- and
- wherein the middle portion of the barb abuts the sloped portion when the barb is inserted into the recess.
