ABSTRACT:
A vehicle locator system is integrated into the electrical system of a vehicle. When a hunter leaves the vehicle, the system is activated, preferably in response to turning the ignition key to the off position. Upon the lapse of a preset first delay, the system sounds an alarm so the hunter can audibly locate the vehicle. The alarm sounds again after a delay less than the first preset delay. The delay is preferably adjustable by the user. Bird hunters typically use a delay of less than about fifteen minutes. Coon hunters typically use a delay of at least one hour and usually two. The system preferably connects to the vehicle horn relay and periodically grounds the relay to cause the vehicle horn to honk.
