I see a lot of post asking for tracking advice. The best advice I can offer is to practice, practice, practice and make sure you can hit the kill zone on an animal before you release the arrow. I would bet I can count only 2 or 3 times I had to track an animal and only once I couldn't find the deer because property owner wouldn't let me on his land. Nothing I could do there. So be patient, practice and make sure of your shots.
