I've been thinking about getting and using a tradtracker. I've lost a few animals over the years and had the coyotes ruin the meat on an elk that a string tracker might have helped me find before they did. I've messed around with the old string trackers and just don't like the noise.
  For those of you who have used the tradtrackr, how has it gone? Is it as quiet as it seems on the videos? Has it been helpful finding game? Would like to hear your stories. Thanks.
