Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for decoying poachers away from an animal equipped with a tracking device is provided. The present invention may include generating, based on machine learning and movement patterns of the tracked animal, one or more decoy paths; transmitting instructions to one or more decoy transmitters to simulate characteristics of the tracking device, and to simulate the decoy paths by moving to and/or transmitting decoy signals at sequential locations at corresponding times to imitate signals from the tracking device; and, responsive to determining that the one or more decoy transmitters are not capable of simulating all of the decoy paths, removing one or more decoy paths.
