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  :dunno: sounds like a good idea to me  :chuckle:

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

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 :chuckle:

I use a "String Tracker" when I hunt Turkeys, but when I hit a deer, or Elk, I follow a blood trail.

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.
Such is life in the West and the further West the more the such.

They actually make tracking strings for deer hunting. 

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.

A lot of people used them while bear baiting, but beyond 20-25yrds
they started to affect the arrow flight.
