I see your point, Epuller. When I saw the title of your post, I thought you were going in another direction with it...
I've always thought that there's another part of golf that helps with hunting, and that is "marking your ball". I'm not exactly a scratch golfer, so I have MANY shots that leave the fairway and head into the trees. Every time this happens, of course I need to mark my ball so that I can find it when I get there and this is exactly the same thing I do when I mark my shot while hunting in order to find the beginning of a blood trail. Mark your shot in relation to an odd-looking branch, a rock, etc.
It's the same skill but two, totally different sports!
