[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 1877902, member: 21869"] First thing is get a good reference point on animal! I dont know how many times I been in the glass made the spot ,and lost it going to spotter.One day it took me 2 hrs to refind a bull,meanwhile wolfs where chasing something my way.I had alot going on.I use to carry small note pad and draw sketch,Ive had to high back where i shot from a couple times and refigure,man thats a lot of bush wacking.Now I take phone pict. I also tie a flag where I shot from,then againg when im at first sign of location,track,fur,etc. Shot stuff in big alder patches,doent look same when you get across canyon.I make sure I dial back down,because Ive had grizz beat me to game,once I hadnt reloaded,grizz was 40 yrds. I do same thing bow hunting.Shot big bear threw shoulder blade,due to situation,looked real sick 100 yrds out.Was rainforest,found his track and blood.I cut to him and didnt follow main blood trail,which cost me a lot of useful info.Was eve and this was crazy forest I was walking 4 ft Diameter logs and lost trail.Well long story short,where I first saw him,he fell at top of ridge and slide down into huge root hole from these massive trees and I had walked about 10 yrds by him.
