Jetblast, YES, they are very trackable if you know what you are doing. This is where it becomes necessary to know where your shot went and what to do following the shot.

HOW LONG, if you definately know it's a gut shot, a minimum of 5 hours, more if it's possible and even better, the next day if it's late in the eveing.

Last year I took my best buck to date. Through the excitement, I didn't stop him and at the shot, he shot forward which resulted in a gut shot. I recovered him 50 yards into the thicket I watched him enter because I left him go. I glassed him while he ran to verify the shot, I stayed in my tree for 3 hours, got down and left and came back 4 hours later.

I'm going to post a link here to a post in the past and I'm going to bump it forward, I think it's important and everyone gave such great advice.
