The first time i visited this site i read a thread on marking your holes with sticks and etc so you can locate them later. I carry a bottle of food coloring with me. Before i leave i put a drop beside or even in the hole,most times it is visable later unless we get snow before i return.I use this same method when fishing a new body of water. I drill a few holes then check them with my vex,the holes with fish get a drop of color. Any way..it works for me
