This is very cool, is there anyway to make a list and pin it to the top? 

I would head out to help someone in need in the Bellingham area, but not an experienced bear tracker, still a second set of eyes can make all of the difference. If someone is having trouble tracking down a deer, I have a lot of experience with those critters, and always looking for an excuse to sneak out to the bush...

In the South we used dogs to track down wounded game and recover it, unfortunately that is not allowed here but it is very effective.  There were websites with numbers to call, most of them took calls 24 hours a day.  Some were paid services, most were just guys helping out.  If you got into trouble and were out of options you just had to drive to where you could get cell coverage and start working the list.

I had to do it once, I got ahold of them at 3:00 AM and two guys drove 3 hours to help me look.  We found the deer in a few hours with some extra eyes and knowledge, I had looked from sunup to sundown the day I shot it and probably never would have recovered it on my own.

H20 can I use your game cart tonight?
What happen to your ladder with training wheels??? :chuckle:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
