If they all fell in sight for me from now on......I'd be happy.
Brknarrow (Frank) shot a doe....hunting here with me in November. We trailed that girl in the dark for a long time......on our hands and knees for a lot of it.
I admit to us both being a little emotional when we laid eyes on her. I'll never forget that one.
Tracking is something I hope to get better at......but wish I didn't have to.
Why do you say that? Thats a crude statement GMMAT! A good hunter gun or bow isn't a great hunter because he can shoot big game animals. He's a great hunter because he can do all the above, hunting, shooting, etc, and yes tracking!! Bloodtrailing is one of the most important things for a hunter to learn and its often most of the time not learned at all!! Good hits can mean long tracking adventures, not just bad hits.
I think his point was just that he would like them all to fall in sight, resulting in no need to track them,not that he really doesn't want to be a good tracker.
I am colorblind so I hate tracking deer and doing it by myself is a LONG adventure because even with what a regular color vision person would call a pool of blood I can't see unless it is right under my nose. I mean that literally. I trail on my hands and knees and look more for turned leaves, etc than blood. I want them all to go down within sight.
