[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 1728598, member: 110615"] If you hunt in areas where you can use your phone, (and this app works with the GPS offline as well).... get the geo ballistic ARC app... it has a satellite map page which shows your position and you can measure the yardage to your target and save the position where you engaged it. It is very accurate to within a yard or two. Also follow these best practices...Mark your position from where you engaged your target with something you can look back and see from your target when you get there. As you search for the deer you can range back to that position and see if you are where you need to be or to far. When you find evidence of where the deer was positioned at time of engagement mark this spot as well. Surveyor tape works well. At this point, follow step by step the track and mark clear evidence as you go. This season even if you see your deer go down in plain sight. STOP.... and practice the process of marking everything and tracking your game to the point where you believe you saw it crash. Tracking is a skill and like anything else we want to improve at it takes practice. Even if you don’t shoot, and see a deer and you pass, practice by moving from your position to where you last saw the deer and look for track. [/QUOTE]
