would you use these?
 

I went to the Archery Trade Show convention yesterday...
saw a bunch of new products...
one thing i saw that i wasn't too sure about was little reflector clips that clip on trees as you go into the woods...(kind of like bread crumbs to find your way back home)
I'm not sure I would ever use these...but.. i know the woods real well where I hunt... would any of you use these?

RE: would you use these?
 

Absolutly i would use them. They have had a few different versions of reflector tacks out for a while now though. Great if you have to track an animal at night or need to get help and come back to the same spot at night.

RE: would you use these?
 

true.... where i hunt it isn't that deep into the woods... it's farm ground and woods.... i see your point on that, ty

I make my own. Buy the reflective tape for bycycles and use a hole punch and then put them on a push pin or thumb tack. I make em while I'm watching TV it's alot cheaper.

I've been using them for several years now and they're great. I hunt mature forest and it's pretty steep terrain as well I mark the trail to my stand on the way out and when I enter the woods before sun up, a small flashlight is all I need to light my pass to my stand like a runway for me. Keep in mind that if your stand sight is a ten minute hike straight up a pretty steep mountain side, then not getting off your track is a pretty nice luxury, saves me from searching for landmarks in the dark, and making more commotion than I have to to alert any game already close by.

Good idea Charlie. To expand on your idea, someone could also take that tape and put it on a clothes pin, (spring type) and have the same thing.

very cool.. if i ever do need them i will do it like this & /or the clothes pin idea..
thanks guys:)

If you are on public land you are showing someone to your favorite spot--hopefully you get there first![:-].If it's private land then yes it is very helpful.

I've been doing the reflective tape on tacks thing for quite a few years. In addition, I use the reflective tape on my scent bomb cannisters to make them easier to find in the dark.

Much easier than a GPS especialy when your computer challenged :D.

My best friend and I have used them in the past when we were trying to get into some of the bigger woods around here. We would go out a few days before we planned on hunting and we would clear trails to where we were gonna be. These trails were cleared to the ground so it was entirely quiet when you walked in. We put reflector tacks on trees on both sides of the trail. We used a small flashlight in the morning and it lite up a path right to where we wanted to go. It was a great way to get to our stands entirely quiet!

All the time.

I put them high up on the trees.......as high as I can get them. Most people do not shine their lights up into the trees.........I also don't make an OBVIOUS trail right to my tree. Just close enough together to know where I am.........or where I am NOT. ;)

Don't need them anywhere I hunt, but if I did I would sure use them.
