Default RE: Being prepared for tracking.....

Good thread GMMAT, its about that time of year boys and girls. Im usually pretty prepared in that area with the gear. Had something happen last year that might be of intrest.While Tracking a slickhead with a massive bloodtrail thanks to the muzzy The trail just dead ended, after a little confusion, i started backtrailing and realized she had backtrailed her own bloodtrail for about 20 yards and vered off in another direction. found her with a perfect double lung entry and exit hole, BUT she decided to swim into the middle of a large pond before expiring[]There was a distinct bubble trail in the water where she had swam, and all you could see was her side sticking up out of the water. Just some tips on things to look for.
Also, we always hear of them traveling a trail or going down hill when hit, and they do alot of times, but this one traveled up and down quite a few hills that was not the path of least restance. Have a great season people!!
