You can't open a Bass Pro or Cabelas catalog with Tactical to Practical becoming a issue.LOL
Would anyone be against 100% recovery of the animal. What is the difference in buying insurance you pay BIG BUCKS (LOL) and may never use it. Same in this case.
Also have been told about this on another M.B..I believe Wisconsin DNR wardens have hand held blood tracking devices that are absolutly remarkable at finding deer.
Some of the devices have transmitters are about the size of a paper clip. (SO WEIGHT WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM.
Getting it attached to the animal may be as a hook configuration that would not effect the flight of the arrow and would stay attached to the animal.
More than likely you won't even have to change your arrows or broadheads.

Some of info I have found.
We already have two way radio's that have GPS that can locate the location of someone else using the same channel and type of radio.
We have GPS now being included on ATV's.
The Receiver is a sophisticated but easy to operate tracking receiver. It is used in conjunction with miniature transmitters that can be tracked 2-40 miles on the ground and even greater distances from the air.
The receiver is light-weight, less than two pounds. It is rechargeable and gives 6-8 hours of tracking capability on full charge.
The miniature transmitters that are used in tandem with this receiver are RF frequency, to virtually anywhere the transmitter is taken. Battery life is 6 months with our mini battery ( 1/4" x 1/4" x 5/8" ) and up to 2 years with optional batteriers.
Features:Up to 40 miles of consistent read range on the ground, depending on the capability of the transmitter used, and even greater distances from the air.
Allows you to track to within inches of a transmitter.
Come on tell the truth, change is always difficult.
Just want to make sure I am clear.
You mean if you shot a deer that meant the world(lol) to you and the arrow hit a small branch that you did not see and made the arrow deflect and less than great shot.
Don't say it can't happen to you Randy Johnson hit a piegon with a baseball while pitching a game (not a baseball fan so I think I have his name correct). If you are out in the wood long enough anything can happen. That's way you buy hunting video's.LOL
By the time it is done I bet you might think of 333 7/8(lol) reason to have one.
LOL
