RE: Looking for first bow kill
Good rule of thumb Taz.
It all depends. More time you wait the easier it will be to find. You go after it to soon you might track it for miles. My second bow kill was that way. It fell in sight, I got excited and went after it after waiting only 30 min.. The buck jumped up and ran. I found it about 4 miles away. It took all day to find it.
Lifes a garden, dig it.
