ORIGINAL: GMMAT Tracking is something I hope to get better at......but wish I didn't have to.;) If every one of my deer.....from now on.....went down in sight....I'd be happy. Now read that, again....keeping the context in which I intended in mind. |

ORIGINAL: huntingson ORIGINAL: Schultzy ORIGINAL: GMMAT 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.;) 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. You say that you are color blind? I have a question, can you see hunters orange? I have always wondered if a color blinded person could see hunters orange. I am not making fun of you are anything I am just curious, because i rifle hunt and I often wonder about a color blinded person. |

Hunter orange still sticks out like a reflector at night.
Really, the only thing affected by being colorblind is the tracking and 99% of the time my dad, wife, friends, or even my mom will help me track if I am having troubles. I wish I could follow a blood trail better, but it is what it is. |

ORIGINAL: GMMAT Tracking is something I hope to get better at......but wish I didn't have to.;) Over the years I've learned a ton. I try to make the perfect shot every time. But face it things happen. And we end up trailing a ways. I've actually only had a couple go down in sight. The rest we trail. some harder than others. One doe I shot last year had a freeway sized blood trail. (heart shot) After I shot I backed out and had a cup of coffee at my dads house (hunting on his property) When we went back I guessed the exact spot she was standing a little wrong and couldn't find the blood at first. I knew I had hit her and didn't see the arrow anywhere but no blood. She had actually been standing 10 feet farther back and we quickly found that spot and it was a supper easy 40 yard trail to her. Had I been in a tree I probably would have seen her fall. But on the ground it was too thick. I have pics of how I found her etc. Man what a blood trail. If they don'tfall within sight that kind of blood trail is what you want. |
