No buck can resist that scent and no scent block can stop it . . .wow, I wonder if she has a hunting buddy, wonder what she took that buck with, talk about drop dead gorgeous . . .
I personally think it's a stupid gadget. I think part of hunting is all about tracking down the animal after the shot. Not following a tracking device.
This wouldn't stop you from tracking it by blood if you wanted to. I've never lost a deer, but it'd be worth $200 to me to never have to worry about it again.

The replacement transmitters are $80.00 for a pack of two.
I can't find the info but once the batteries are run down you may have to buy new transmitters.
I emailed them and got an answer back (in about 15 minutes!).
You just pop out the old battery and and slip a new one in. We have extra batteries in stock and you can purchase them most anywhere. They are SR621 also 364 and G1 SG1 will work also. We have a BOWBUG replacement accessory pack. This package contains 4 batteries, 4 magnets and 10 high tension bands.
The one thing that I still have a concern about is how likely the transmitter would be to stay in/on the deer. Anyone have any insight regarding that?
I went to a lease in Texas last year with a friend and one of the lease members shot a nice buck and had to use the bowbug to track it. He might have found it without the device but the deer went about 600 yards through some nasty stuff.
When the guy found his deer with the bowbug he had to rip the transmitter loose from the deer. If I remember the transmitter had 2 long points with barbs like a fish hook that stuck in the deer when he shot it.
