Holy hell I haven't seen them in a while

 

[hunterbob1]

Got my 1st bear in quebec using them.

 

[Bowguy]

How long ago were they? Not real long and they didn't last that long. 15 years?

That was a big advance over putting the sewing thread across the trail. lol

 

[BHC]

that was high tech trail timer back then......Thanks for reminding me of my age, LOL!!

That was a big advance over putting the sewing thread across the trail. lol

And the thread usually broke instead of the timer going off. Lol

Just got rid of one of the next generation of those.
It had the 5 clocks inside

 

[MarkMartinFan]

I still have one in my collection. and it still works. [ko]

Anybody have any use for a "String Tracker" ?

 

[mazzgolf]

I'll bite - what is it?

A trail timer...A string was placed across a trail and fastened to a tree on one side and the timer on the other..When A Deer or Whatever. came down the trail, the string would pull the plastic ring thing and it would stop the clock...That way you knew what time, Something, came down the trail...Once !
Try patterning a big buck with that !

I still have one. Actually came across it last night and thought to myself I guess Ill save it to show my boys someday.

A while back someone posted pics of one of the original trail cameras that used 35mm film. Imagine what those days were like... Pulling the film, taking it to get developed, waiting a week, paying $5, and finding only pictures of tree rats and raccoons [ko]

When you said string tracker I thought you meant the string tracker. Anyone have one of those to post. That's before the string timer

 

[teddrick]

Found this one this week, while cleaning out the tree bark camo that's 6 sizes too small.

I shot a deer years ago with a string tracker. Threw my arrow way off. I hit the deer but he spooled me:comp: http://www.carbonexpressarrows.com/archery/arrow-accessories/string-tracker-replacement-spool

Wow carbon express? I know a couple companies made them. I had a Saunders string tracker. Think I bought it at Butts n Bows. Hmmm more memories. I loved that place but it wasn't close. I can still smell the musty cardboard n cigar smoke. And see the deer lying on Washington Ave. good stuff. The string tracker did make my bow shoot low as well

 

[Bowguy]

Man you guys got me thinking. All that Anderson stuff, the tree sling, gigantic broadheads they made that I never could get to shoot. Thunderhead 180s. Razorback 5s. Good memories. Lol mono serving
