I know the old timers will crucify me on this, but has anyone ever thought about the feasibility of electronic tracking devices for deer? It would have to be some sort of a very small transmitter with a barb of some sort that attaches to the front of the arrow, forward of the rest at full draw, that disconnects from the arrow and attaches itself to the deer on contact, whether a pass thru or not.

My initial thoughts would be something like a barbed fishhook, with the barb bending up and around towards the front of the arrow. The transmitter would fit on shaft of the hook. The barbs should help ensure a good embedment in the deer and keep it from falling out, even if the arrow does.

The the hunter could then use a hand held tracker that either beeps louder the closer you get to the deer or could be a gps type of deal to track the deer with afterward, actually telling you where it is laying or if it is still moving.

I know I would pay $300 or more for such a set up. It would probably run closer to $500, I would imagine. Any of you guys think it could work?
