This is the device for the folks who cannot track their game
« on: February 09, 2013, 05:35:33 PM »

This is pretty good....  If it is legal and you want to use it go for it.

Full Deer Recovery w/ Game Vector

This device attaches to your arrow.
The device hooks to the deer, elk, bear, etc...

It runs for 48 hours.  You pull out a device which tracks the device that is hooked to the animal you just shot.  So you can find it or get to take another shot.

Do you think people will take more longer shots because they can track the animal?

Interesting, wouldn't be legal here with its little battery, of course.

Neat idea. I would be afraid that because of the shape it would throw off the flight of the arrow, but more importantly affect the penetration.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

I don't even know where to start.  What happened to getting close enough to make a confident shot and showing restraint when high percentage shot doesn't exist?  What happened to basic woodmanship?  And who needs an electronic tracking device to trail wounded game IN SNOW?  This is exactly why I don't support lighted nocks - devices like these will be the next line in the sand that we'll be trying to cross in an effort to make bowhunting easier.  Where do we go next?

I can see how that could be abused, someone would figure out a non lethal way to stick game with it for locating later.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

I hadn't even thought of that, but yeah you may be right.

That was exactly my first thought. Guys would be out 48 hrs before dropping arrows in animals rumps. I think it takes away alot of the reason why we hunt :twocents: Good shot placement, closing the gap for the extra 10 yards, waiting for the animal to fall perfectly into your plan, and the art of tracking all would be effected negatively.

Funny that I joked about such a device in the slippery slope debate with illumanocks.

The difference is I believe few that support lighted nocks would support this, I wouldn't.

I am glad of that.   I am sad to know there will be a bunch preaching this as the next best thing for game recovery of course, and how can we speculate that people will now take unethical shots, and some others that will still believe that there is too much regulation and that this won't effect.......   its just another line I guess.
