You and your buds ever sat around deer camp saying, “There oughta be a way to use technology to track a wounded deer”? Well, seems like now there is.
One of the cooler tech announcements at the recent ATA show (archery trade show) is Kirsch Hunting’s Bloodhound XTN Nock. Apparently it’s a “thing” that attaches to the back of an arrow, and “embeds” itself in a deer as the arrow passes through.
So it lights up to help you track the animal in low-light conditions, and it’s a tracking device that wirelessly connects to a handheld deal — which kinda looks like it came from the ’90s? — and leads you to your deer up to 400 yards away.
Here’s a vid from Bowhunting.com…. If it works like they say it will, could be pretty cool. BUT it’s big enough that we’re wondering if it might touch an arrow rest and might affects arrow travel, but then again we can’t imagine Kirsch didn’t consider that.
Not out yet, and real-world pricing is also unknown. We’ll keep our eyes on it….
