Sorry but that not only is a waste of time, but disgusting.
So, you put a bad shot on a deer, and the arrow breaks off, but leaves a wire in the deer to keep the wound from clotting? So what happens if you can't track the deer because it isn't bleeding externally yet? Or dropping so little blood you loose it? Well what happens is you just guarantee the animal will die slowly from infection with no chance of healing and surviving.

I agree 100% friend, whenever I took an arrow to the knee, I noticed minimal blood clotting. It was very helpful when i had to walk to white run and sign up for guard duty. Ever since then I haven't been a hunter like you. By the way, the places that you guys hunt, have you been hunting there for years?

It is a clever idea but it assumes a hell of a lot has gone wrong with your hunt. I've had pass thru shots that clogged with pieces of lung on one side, and intestine on the other (entry was too far back.). I've had a shot that went thru both lungs and didn't give me the expected blood trail....I just followed the direction the deer had run and found it. This product would not have helped at all. I have never had an arrow break off in the deer, and not find the the deer.
I suppose if I was shooting much larger animals....elk or mule deer, then maybe I could have this issue. A clever solution for a non problem I think.
