Anybody seen this new gimmick? It has a receiver sending a signal to the location. What they gonna come out with next? Anybody remember the stabilizer that had the line on your broadhead?
 
That is actually pretty darned cool, if it actually works, but for $400 and who knows what it will do to arrow flight....i'll pass :) .

Is it just me, or are we getting further and further away from basic woodsmanship skills that have been used for years....if not milleniums?

I was thinking the same thing. Pretty soon somebody will come out with a deer hunting drone that you hunt from your house into the recliner and even something else to retrieve it.
 
You won't catch me jeopardizing the flight of my arrow to put a homing device in a deer!

I will give them credit for their imagination.

It's pretty darned depressing when you actually start thinking about it�something to kill it, put a homing beacon it, a robot to field dress it and drag it out, then a computer programed butchering machine to cut it up however you like it. Crap....I won't have a reason to get away from the wife and kids for a bit. :)
 
I used the "string tracker" a few times back in the early 80's, with good results.
Shots under 25 yards had good accuracy, even though there was a spool of line attached. I had arrows pass through and stay in, both worked well.

The last deer I killed using the string tracker did not die immediately. I sat in my stand and watched the line spool out for twenty minutes as the deer walked further and further away.

It was kinda weird to be sitting there for ten minutes, and no string spooling, thinking it was dead, only to have it all of a sudden start peeling out again.

We all learned a lot in those early years. Before TV shows, and internet, it was hard to get much information.

Several hundred kills later, I now know how dumb and inexperienced I was.

And still, deer teach me more every year.
