James,
I work in the technology investment business and have experince with a couple of the leading RFID companies. RFID is really meant for close range use. It isn't the sort of thing used for wildlife.
However the gentleman that has guided me twice on amazing Grizzly bear tours in Katmai Alaska is a world known bear researcher, Chris Morgan.
Chris is also involved with the tagging of cougars in the northwest. His contact info is
