A ranger I know in OK told me 30 pairs were dropped in OK and they have trackers on them.
I've heard rumors of this going on elsewhere too.
Ok, so this isn't something I can put a link in here for. So this will have to be taken with a grain of salt.

step 1: kill cougar
step 2: steal tracker (wear gloves.)
step 3: duct tape to 18 wheeler bumper at nearby truck stop, drive in different direction.
