no more lost deer while archery hunting!

[deerhunter_98520]

why doesnt everyone that archery hunts put on the bow fishing kit...that way after you shoot your deer just follow the fishing line to your deer  sounds like a good idea to me 

[sebek556]

because you would not get constent arrow flight, it would get snagged in trees,brush etc.

Wow, yeah, you could reel him in

[deerhunter_98520]

I think braided line would do the trick!

You guys are way behind the times... don't you have broadheads with GPS locators in them??? 

[sebek556]

hmm braided line..... I have never had my bow not pass through a deer... I can just see it arrow goes through into a tree behind the deer and I am left playing tug-a-war with the deer to keep my bow

They actually make tracking strings for deer hunting.  I remember when I was younger, my dad tried using one a couple different years.  The string usually snaps after 15-20 yards, if that.  One time it tangled inside the bottle and when he went to shoot it snapped, sending his arrow God knows where.  I forgot all about that damn tracking string until now

I use a "String Tracker" when I hunt Turkeys, but when I hit a deer, or Elk, I follow a blood trail.
Works real good for me.

Just to stir the pot, Think they could make one for rifles too?

Careful let some goon in DC here you mention that for rifles they'll start requiring it for all of them.  It won't matter that they don't work.

I remember seeing those things maybe 7-8 years ago.  It was pretty much 30-40 yards of monofilament line attached behind a broadhead.  The theory was that the line would be highly visible making it easier to track your animal.  I never heard of anyone using it though.

[deerhunter_98520]

I didnt even know they made such a thing

A lot of people used them while bear baiting, but beyond 20-25yrds
they started to affect the arrow flight.
By the way be carefull we are all on the same team, goes both ways,
