Thank you to all that posted and for the extra vote of confidence. I am headed out at 4 am with 1 hound 1 sheperd, about 50 guys from my hunting club and I may rent a small aircraft for a few hours just to make sure I cover all the ground. Really though not finding game that you know is going to or has already died is heatbreaking. Its not the rack that i' m worried about its the wasting part I hate. One time a novice bowhunter friend of mine havested his first doe and told me he felt bad about it. I told him it was okay to feel that way and that is part of hunting, I also explained he should prepare himself for the one that got away.

(guess who' s got to get up in the morning with me!)
