yeah i know i have read about the radio collars deal in the regs before. guys were using radio telemetry, tracking devices to locate bulls that had been collared. they busted a group in the Yakima rez i guess that was using them and had killed to like 3 big bulls.

1) Shot placement is always job one. 2) How many hours did you spend trying to recover that deer? 3) It is illegal to use radios for the purpose of locating and harvesting deer. 4) Always aproach any downed game as if it still poses a risk to you or others.

It is NOT illegal to use a radio in washington to hunt any animal. Yes some states use this law though.

I saw a bull elk get hit in the brisket and it put him down like a ton of bricks he layed there for five minutes and we started walking up the hill toward him whenwe were half way there he got up and ran off. Luckily for us there was snow and we tracked him the next mornig and got him.

I really don't know what to say. Wow.

You could have hit him in the antler and just stunned him or grazed the spine as someone already said.  Brisket is another area where they get back up and run but not likely in this case cause you onlyfound 2 spots of blood.  Bummer!

How would the tag situation work on this? Brother makes the original shot and puts it down. But if had shot it, squeeze2drop would be the one to put the fatal shot in it. Who has to tag the deer? What if the person watching the deer doesn't have a tag?

Hopefully I never have to experience this sort of situation. If I ever get that shot, I'm making sure it's a good one.

Keep shooting until they're dead!

  2 words for you...DOUBLE TAP!!!  You didn't want to shoot it because it was your brothers buck, but when it jumped up you MISSED it 3 times... I'm stumped as to what to say.
