Thread: Locating shot deer using your GPS - long(ish) range shooting

If you waypoint the point you shot from, and take an accurate bearing using a sighting compass, select goto your shooting waypoint and the deers last position will be somewhere along the back bearing ( that is 180 degrees to your compass bearing). This allows you to travel over to the rough area and once you are on the correct back bearing the deers last position should be along that line, or thereabouts.
Example: shoot deer at 250m and on bearing of 240 magnetic, take waypoint of shooting spot, engage goto shooting spot and walk around the ridge until you get to 060 degrees to your shooting spot, traverse along this bearing using GPS and when you get close to 250m from your goto tyarget you will be close to your deers last known point.
