Strategies for locating animal after the shot when solo

[wetzel]

I've never thought to practice it. That's a Great idea! That practice will come in handy post shot when your addrenalin is pumping and your brain is scrambled.

I think half the battle is just recognizing that it's going to be harder than it looks, so don't just race off to get there without a good plan. Calming yourself down, taking some notes /photos, and a little planning before you start moving goes a long way. It also helps keep your mind busy while you fight to stay put for 30 min and give the animal time to expire.

That's true. I learned quite a bit just trying it out. In my mind it made sense but then I found out what I actually didn't understand as I tried to do it for real. Another thing I learned is how sensitive to metal my compass is, first it was the binder's rings I was using as a hard surface, and then the mechanical pencil I was using to draw my line. It was a good learning experience.
