That is a no brainer for me! Almost anywhere that you have the ability to hunt hogs it is way to warm to leave an animal with guts in. I hunt hogs in SW FL and can tell you there is no way I would have attempted that. I also believe that it was not ideal to only track for a couple of min. There were to many issues here that casused you to loose your hog. Many hog hunters simply do not care if they find the hog or not because #1 there are no bag limits, #2 these animals are a nusience. I am not saying it is right but that is the way it is. I am not this way. You were paying your guide you should have told him to track longer and harder to be able to obtain your animal that is what he gets paid for. Just my opinion. Sorry I get a little upset when people put no effort into finding their animal.
