Cancelled -- Couldn't get pictures to post for me ..............

dont get one and if you do get that kind of thing get a small deer heat tracker. but proper shots and tracking equal recovery the arrow comes out a lot or passes through

Im not sure if it would be worth spending $200 dollars for something like that? Unless you have plenty of money, what if u would miss and hit a tree im not sure but i would think that there goes ur $200? Maybe u should look into some Lighted Nocks"? They will help u find ur arrow and give u a better idea on ur shot placement! They will only run u around $10 bucks! Gd Luck!

I won't get one. I'm going to keep searching until I find an accurate broadhead with a wide cutting path (like maybe the Grim Reaper Extra).
Then I can just follow the wet stuff to the deer since I can't see red on brown. Too bad I can't get my hands on one of the military's thermal imagers.

I shot a small racked 8 point buck toward the end of NYS gun season that someone had hit with an arrow during bow season . He had an arrow in his cheek that protruded into his neck .

That's incredible! You've got to wonder how that deer survived.

After I removed the arrow from the buck , I found it had the clip on the end for the Game Tracker ..........

Guess the best tracking technology isn't much good if the deer doesn't die. It's still hard to see how that deer kept going forthat long.

don't buy one just take good shots that you know you can make unlike the jerk that tried to take that one down with a head shot.

Thanks for all your inputs. I have been asking around to some of my buddies that have been bowhunting for a while and just about all of them admit to losing deer after and archery hit at least once. And all of them say they were good arrow placements, so I am not sure if this is a bad idea or not.

Just to clarify the receiver unit is the pricey part, once you buy that you can buy replacement transmitters that go on the arrow tip for $89 for a set of two. The reciever and two transmitters are $219.

And no, I don't have money falling out of my ears! or anything else for that matter. It is just hard for me to rationalize not doing everything I can to insure ethical harvest. Not to mention that fact that we all spend a fortune (both in time and Money) hunting, so if I get a good shot at mr.big and he runs off to die in a thicket, that is a sick thought.
