Planing on going out to the eastern shore of Maryland for a little Sika Deer hunting. In the marsh it is very difficult to follow a bood trail so I am looking at using a String Tracker. What brand adaptor do you recommend for a bow that does not have a bushing in it.
Where you headed. Me and a few of my buds are headed to fishing bay Thursday night.
Great Northern I believe makes a strap-on adapter that is threaded for accessories.Straps on like their quivers.
Guru had a really good thread on how he mounts his to his quiver hood for turkeys. Should work equally well for deer. Maybe check over in the how to section for string trackers by Guru.
Check out the post on this page by draco:

Also, on pages 1 and 2 of that same thread, there are a couple more ingenious ways to mount a string tracker!

We are heading over to hunt Insley. Will be camping at Taylors Isl. I think I will look at the Great Northern. I do not want to attach anything to my EFA quiver. I like the one by DRACO but I think he used it with a bow that does not have a quiver attached.
I made one from Draco's design and it works flawlessly.
Take a 1" wide 3" long piece of thin metal and drill a 5/16th hole near one end. Bend the metal into a U shape. Buy a bolt that threads into the game tracker(bolt may be metric) and then attach that bolt thru the hole using a lock nut leaving about 3/4" of the bolt sticking out of the hole. Screw your game tracker on.
I tape that holder onto my recurve where the bushing would have been installed. I also put some mole skin on the metal where it touches the bow so it doesn't scratch the bow. Works great and its very cheap to make.
