Weird Bowfishing Spool for Deer?

(1/2) > >>

Digital Caveman:
I found this string tracking devise advertised on 3rivers archery.  It is basically a bowfishing spool tied to your hunting arrow to help you find lost game.  Is this as silly as it sounds?

sleek:
I've always liked the idea. What sounds silly about it?

Digital Caveman:
The string will slow down the arrow to soon, It can get tangled and broken in brush, and isn't nearly long enough for anything but a very lethal shot.  I would not want my bow tied to a wounded deer.

There's probably a reason I've never heard of anyone using one.

Pat B:
Lots of folks use them especially for turkey hunting. It's been around for quite a few years now so it must be effective.

Lumberman:
I don't like the idea of using it on a deer.. Omnivore's homestead on you tube have videos of using it on deer and pigs down in Florida. Seems to work fine. Admittedly if i tried it i might love it, just haven't earnestly considered getting it because I don't want it.
