RE: Recovery, What To Do After the Shot.
Excellent info. I've always been impatient, and have lost a couple deer because of it. I've learned to think more about the animal and less about myself.
I definitely agree about getting the glasses on him post-shot. Another thing I try to do if he moves out of sight is focus on the last place I saw him, ID a landmark, so I can get right on the trail when it's time. I've been surprised at times at how far they can move from the hit before the blood starts showing up on the ground. Also, most already know this, but don't look only on the ground. If it's a good hit you'll see blood on saplings and brush about thigh-high (your thigh).
