"New York’s Department of Agriculture and Markets will being this month a pilot program testing UHF RFID tags on the state’s domestic deer and elk (cervids). The ultimate goal is to track the cervid population and better trace diseases such as chronic wasting disease (CWD). The program will use a 915 MHz radio frequency identification system provided by Advanced ID Corp. that allows deer and elk tags to be read from as far away as 2 meters (up to 8 feet)."
