Default Heat sensors

Has anyone used those heat sensors by aimshot or similar? If so, how well do they work at finding downed/wounded game?

We tried one once. It didn't work well. The dead doe was laying in some tall marsh grass in a cold bog. We couldn't reliably tellwhich way she wentusing the game finder. We ultimately found her the old fashioned way.. we tracked her. In my opinion, the devises won't replace blood trailing skills.

You might also want to check your state's game laws, those things are illegal here, even for finding downed game.

they sound just about as useful as "blood lights"

Gee I hope so camocop - Cause those things really work. Blood is much more visible.
