I lost a nice buck one year with a 20 yard pass thru shot. The rains came and there was no trail I looked for days. Hmmm that bow bug would of came in real handy.
That $200 device would have helped you locate your $20 arrow. If you blow through the animal the device will likely be attached to the arrow burried in the dirt behind where you hit it.
I have to agree as much as it disappoints me, IMO the bowbug will be the end cause of hunters makeing unethical choices in the woods. It's human nature to push the limits of what is possible.
