Another way is to use your compass(a sighting one is best) and take a bearing on the shot animals last position, then save a waypoint of where you shot it from, and then "GoTo' your shooting waypoint and if you are on the back bearing you will be very close to walking over the last known position of the animal. If you have a range finder and know the distance you can go very close. Example, you shoot a deer 300m away and the bearing to the animal is 020 Mag, and you then waypoint your shooting position, GoTo the waypoint and travel out 300m and stay on a line that says 200 mag and you'll be very close. Another feature on the garmins is "Project", where you can put all of the above info in i.e. bearing and distance and it will create a waypoint for you to navigate to. I have used these methods often in the crown fern of the Ruahine's.
Thank you. Sounds like more practice from me and learn how to use the gear i have properly.
