[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 794112, member: 7123"] -- Hit them further forward and lower than a whitetail. Their heart is very low-forward in the body. --Use a Muzzy broadhead with a chisel point so you have a chance if you hit bone. --If you use a horse, be sure to mark carefully the location you leave it, both with your GPS and physical senses/landmarks. --They can't see quite as well as deer, so if you have a chance to stalk forward toward them to get closer for your shot, do so - just take a step when they look away or their head goes behind a tree --As mentioned, get in really good shape --As always, dress in layers and have a backpack to shed layers - it will likely go from hot-hot to fairly cold, maybe in the same day. --Knowing how to cow call and/or bugle can help a lot --Remember, the wind thermals drift down the slopes in the morning and late evening, but up the slopes during the heat of the day, so be on the right side of the wind from where you expect the animals, as always - if they scent you, game over. --If you hit one and it starts to run, immediately cow call to try to stop it. Tracking them can be very difficult even with a blood trail, and they're notorious for not leaving blood trails. [/QUOTE]
