Default RE: Game Tracker

I used a " Game Tracker" a couple of times back when shafts seldom passed through a deer. I found, for me, that the " Tracker" was cumbersome and useless.

How effective can they now be, now that through-and-through shots are the norm and the shaft will stick in the ground or a tree?

I have a bud that discovered one drawback of the " Tracker" that he wished, and so do I, he would have never discovered. While firing and attached arrow, the string of the " Tracker" wrapped around a finger on his left hand just above the first joint. When the string went tight, it cut through his finger to the bone, sliced a tendon, and pulled all of the flesh and meat forward. He does not have any feeling in that finger and he cannot bend it at the first joint.
