    Posted: 03 October 2005 at 14:54

I've been shooting these string trackers for years.  Love them.

Went to buy some refills and 10 stores were out and a few said the company went out of business.  I did find one store that had refills but no new devices. I bought his complete stock of refills.

I think the company was in Michigan.  Anyone know if they went under??

My older breother finally decided yesterday to try one of these after having helped me find and drag out a couple of WTs.  He called everywhere and finally drove to Cabelas in West Virgina because they had one in the store and it didn't have a computer number on it.  Bet he spent $60 on gas!

I hope we didn't lose a good archery product.

I must say I get aggravated on finding hundreds of yards of the string in the woods. I do wish people would pick it up as they recover thier game.

 Maybe make a giant ball out of it and get your picture in the local paper. Not being a bow hunter I wondered what you guys were talking about in previous threads.

Yea.  It is a long mess.  but is very easy to wind up in a few seconds.  Since it is nylon string, it lasts forever if thrown around.  I've never seen the string it in the woods.  But I see thousands of trees with fluorescence plastic tape on their trunks.  Each year I personally cut off miles of this stuff.  Can't anyone find there favorite tree stump to hunt from without a ribbon every few yards. One year opening day i found a mile of pink ribbon from the trail end into the woods.  I guessed the guy got a commercial spool at a garage sale.  I took time out from hunting to re circle the ribbon so the dude would end up a 100 yards from his car.   The next week I picked it all up.  Don't people know how to use a compass?

Mr. mom thanks for the check.  I'd like one model 2500 and a couple of extra filler rolls.  Should see me thru my hunting life.  I only use them when hunting archery in the northeast with lots of bush.  In North and South Carolina I usually use a rifle, as it is thick and wet.  In the west there is no need, the plains are so open you can just sit down and watch a hit deer or antelope die thru binoculars.

Around here, if you collected all the tape in the woods, you could possibly get in trouble. The Forest Service, State Lands, and private timber companies use flagging extensively to mark boundaries, cutting units, drainage set backs, and harvest trees.

Cruisers here use paint.  Any public agency that puts non-bio-degradable plastic in the woods should be sentenced to spend 20 years on bread and water, and having to listen to Mule.

Thanks for the tips on were to buy these.  I now have a lifetime supply, even if I live to be 100.  Got to change the will to give these away.

Lets see: Mr. mom gets the Kimber, KP gets the double rifle, Nh gets his pick of my eight Rugers, Tas gets winchester 92, Tika gets the Sako............Moose gets the Tomato stake 338 that shoots 1/2,......Mr. mom will have to settle for a Weatherby, Dakotasin needs that 375, Mountaineer can use the the 44 carbine, Wingmaster gets the 870 trapgun natch, deadog gets the Stevens Crackshot, Omega will have to settle for the flintlocks,  SS needs a m71,……  Mule gets coal (low sulfur).  TTU will get my little black book, they will be 65+ now but they were nice once. Lets see who is left for the 416s???   Hey that Mr. Mom sneaked in there twice.        Aw, this is too tough and I've got too many friends and not enough stuff.  I'll Have to buy more stuff, or just outlive you all and use this lifetime of collected stuff myself.
