I wont comment on your tracking and searching.....but on how long to wait???

I don't think anyone can know, for sure. I shot a doe last night at 7:20. I got on the trail at 9:30. I was in the woods until 10:30 and took my son back home to get to bed. I went back with my labrador retriever and were in the woods until 2:20AM. I went BACK in there this morning.....and found her at 8:20.

I won't go back in these woods (this woodlot) for at least a week. But I don't have many choices. I'll be back in the fringes of this area sometime next week. I won't hunt at all again, until Saturday.

I also hunt NC deer.....but don't get the looking up thing. Never seen them do that on a regular basis.
