SECTION 2:
USING IN THE FIELD
2.1 Learn how to use the Pro-Tracker
®
System
With your friends and family play a game of hide and seek. One
person takes a Transmitters programmed into the Receiver and
goes hide where ever he wants. Give him a few minutes to get in
place. Now see if you can find him. The more you do this the easier
it is to become familiar with the system and how it works. Once you
have used the Pro-Tracker® System for a few games of hide and
seek it is time to use the Pro-Tracker® system to aid in finding your
target you have hit with an arrow.
2.2 On Your Hunt
The Pro-Tracker® system was designed to aid in finding your
wounded animal. The Pro-Tracker® system will not replace your
tracking skills. In fact you will still need to follow all signs of the
wounded animal, including blood trails or other means. The Pro-
Tracker® System will take over when all other options are gone-in
case of rain, no blood, heavy down fall or brush. This is when the
Pro-Tracker® system is most valuable.
By turning on the Receiver and pointing it in the last direction
you saw the animal go, look for a signal. Continue to turn your body
in 5 degree increments until the signal is found. Wait 15 seconds
then take another reading. Go slow and step at 10% increments.
Then take the highest reading and head in that direction to
your way point 80 to 100 yards away and take another reading. By
watching your Receiver you can determine if the animal is moving
or is stationary. If the animal is still moving stay a distance away
until the animal stops and lies down. This may take up to 30 to 45
minutes after the shot is taken.
2.3 Animal Laying on the Transmitter
If a signal is not detected the animal may be laying directly on
the Transmitter. If this happens you may only get a signal 100 to
