firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 I break out my video or still digital camera and take a few pictures at where I shot to. If alone I'll write down in my note pad some of the key features and where to go. Maybe draw a small map. Then I'll view the photos and make sure I can make out where to go from landmarks. So far I've done that with great success but have got a few new tips here on how to recover from a long range shot. Some times it's not so long of a shot but across a nasty canyon that you have to go almost a mile out of your way to get across that's a bugger. That's when you've forgot all about your land marks, which makes the photos and mini map all worth the while. cmc That is really good CMC..... I guess reviewing video never crossed my mind. I like it! Hey, Lark..... I have a Strong back and a Weak mind..... I'll pack whatever it takes to gitter-done!!! So...... Shooooosh!!! And, Casey..... I think you should always have a "spotter".... or chaparone.... when you go to the woods. CnS Thats why Linnea and Danielle are bringing daddys truck down to Tucson... Brian... thats enough from you you... well you know what you are! Mike, I dont even need to say anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COOSEFAN Report post Posted October 17, 2007 That was a good one cmc! I forgot about reveiwing the video. I had to do just that with a buddy after he shot his huge bull.....remember that Jnoble?......We were unsure of the hit and gave the bull an hour to give up the ghost and when we made it to where the animal was we could not find blood. The ground was so rocky we couldn't even find tracks to pin point where the bull was standing. We were on the edge of a clearing and wanted to enter the treeline exactly where the bull had, but all the vegetation looked the same and we had no sign to use. I remembered about the camera, rewound it, played it back and could see the exact tree we needed to go past into the treeline. As soon as we got to that spot we could see the bull up under a tree less than a 100 yrds in the trees! If you have it, the video is priceless for reviewing shot placement and position of the critter! JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
