Thoughts on the "protracker" for bow hunters

[BHC]

Just saw the video on Facebook. I think some people will take a poor shot knowing they can track the game, I wouldn't purchase it

I would actually screw a rage on my shaft before this contraption.... Hurt me to say that....

You have come a long way Jack.

just imagine, hit a buck that would have survived, and now he's alive and well with a homing device, just in time for 6 day!!!

  Non vital hit and now he has a tracking device on him.  Let the games begin!!!

years ago we had something similar. had a hook that would come off arrow when you hit a deer. each hook came with a chip. when you hit a deer you would take the chip and lay it on the ground for 5 min so it could pick up a electrical field of the hook then put the chip in a antenna. as you walk it will point to the hook. well my bro shot a buck and we watched it go in a thicket. when we used the antenna it pointed in the opposite dirrection accross the road. we put that thing away and didnt use it again because we saw which way it went and it wasent accross the street. well we didnt find the buck. a week later i was hunting the other side of the street and there was his deer with the hook in it. if we would of followed the antenna we would of found it that night

I remember them and trid them too. Every deer I killed with them the blood trail was awesome and never needed it. But was neat when the line went ripping out

^{I never heard of the "trail hook". Looks like something that was short lived.}
