Thread: 500 club finally.

Yeah mate, know what you mean about getting better visuals on where to look.

I learnt (the hard way) to always take the range finder with you when retrieving yur kill and use it to triangulate your position. Just range back to the spot you fired from until you get the same distance as the shot. If you get two distances from two location then its even better (just like a map and compass really).

Good luck, I hope you find it today

Yea what he said good advice!!! Also find to prominant rocks or trees near the position that interline with animal position so u can use them as a reference as well whenur searching!!

I know how hard it is to find some things.. we got a spiker a few years ago at 450 accross a clearing in titty height scrub... same thing as u! Had to go back with the dogs!!!!!

Yep what they said and also if you have two of you one stays where the shot was taken and guides you in using radios ,hand signals
or good old fashioned yelling your guts out.

i bet you dont miss the old place bro. we moving on the 25th will be heading past before then will pop in for a cuppa if your not busy hunting i mean working.

And the further out you get the harder the finding game gets especially when your shooting deer at 1000yards 30 minutes before dark a good time is guaranteed

Sweet as mike. We will be practicly neighbors

CD, you have one cool looking backyard

No love ran out of daylight im pissed cause I know its there somewhere but thigh high sweedes suck balls. Havnt taken the pup down yet so will do that first thing there was still frost on the ground in some places so hopefully will be ok? At least for dog tucker. Im really disappointed but its a learning curve of long range I guess. Anyway some pics of whereabouts I think the pig wasish to where the shot was taken. Shooting point is the high spot between the trees.

And some sign.

Bloody pigs make a mess alright

The meat will be fucked by now, but at least the wee beastie isn't doing anymore damage to your crop.

Yea I kniw kim wishfull thinking. I absolutely hate losing animals I will definitely be thinking about recovery before squeezing the shot off next time. Its a gutting feeling knowing its lying there somewhere.
