RE: Disgusted with myself
Not sure your online or out looking. Honestly and I'm no one to tell you what to do when tracking, you could teach me. I however would not wait until tomorrow to track him. I wouldn't wait anything more than 8 hours. Nothing vitally hit will run 8 hours later, if it does, you didn't kill it.
A liver shot can be recovered 4 hours later....true guts, 6-8 preferably 8...
What time did you hit him?
What state are you hunting? There are 3 guys in IL willing to track from the United Blood Trackers and 2 in Wisconson.
