Just a reminder - Wait At Least 1 Hour!!!
As archery season opens across the country, this forum will be littered with posts that read -
"Help! Lost the 10 pt. I shot"
"Can't find him, any ideas?" etc.
I have an idea, WAIT!
Happens every year. It will continue to happen. It's sad. Some deer may not be recovered no matter how long you wait to begin tracking, it does happen. But so many deer will not be recovered simply due to impatience. There is virtually no excuse for not waiting at the very least 1 Hour to start tracking a wounded animal. Even in the pouring rain, I would wait an hour. Unless the animal drops dead in front of you, PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE WAIT AN HOUR OR TWO TO START TRACKING! I promise you will have a better chance of having venison in the freezer if you take your time and wait.
Thank you for your time<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
