Two recommendations:

1.  Don't shoot at moving elk

2.  Don't post about it on this forum.  It is ammunition for others to use against hunters.

I respectfully disagree with #2.  I've seen quite a few threads on this forum just like this, where people came together to search and the animal was successfully harvested.  I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but that's just my opinion.

I agree that posting this stuff makes getting hunting bans implemented easier for the Anti's

But if someone manages to find a deer/elk/sheep/goat/anything else because of a forum that's awesome and should be posted about! (IMHO)

It show's that all hunters are not camouflaged hillbillies that are only in it for themselves!


Maybe next time this kinda of thing arises, the person who lost a game animal will send a PM to some people and ask them to pass around the need for help.
Just an idea!

It happens.  It sucks.  You will never forget and re-live it over and over.  Now learn from it and get back out there.  :tup:
