[QUOTE="lerch, post: 194921, member: 3115"] Well im coming in real late to this topic and i aint wanting to stir the pot. i am only wanting to reinforce one thing. on the topic of watching a hit animal i firmly agree with keeping eyes on the animal until you are SURE it is down for good! Just this last fall Bill Bailey my long time hunting buddy shot the buck of his lifetime. unfortunatly we were not setting together when he made the shot but either way he did a good job. the only problem was that once the made the 470yd shot he got back on the scope and saw the buck lift his head and then fall back down. now this shot was far back but with a 300gr bullet from his 338 edge the job was done. the problem was that he was so excited he jumped on the radio and was calling me and shortly on his way to pick me up and get the deer. problem was he didnt mark where the animal fell!!! now this occured on a small patch of land, about 40 acre radios where the animal could be but the grass was around 4ft tall. now if you have tried to find a downed deer in that kind of grass you can understand how hard it can be!! my first question to him was if he marked the animal with a land mark in line with his stand, no he was to excited. I really cant blame him cause a near 170" deer can do that to ya :D:D but after 30min of looking for the buck he was cussing the mistake. anyway we found the buck and all was good. bottom line is though, watch the animal, make sure its down, and figure out a easy way to find it. as far as how this translates to public broadcasted video i dont know or really care/ steve [/QUOTE]
