Yep. Good thread, and good advice from many.
If you find yourself in that situation and you have no desire to, or cannot continue the search any further because of work or some other excuse just TRUST me and keep it to yourself, I don't want to hear about it and neither does anybody else.[:@]
Never understood how somebody would stick a deer at dark knowing they didn't have the time that night, or the next day to track it.Lost count of the perople I know that start tracking too early after sticking one at dark, because theywant some light when they begin, or just won't sit it out for a few hours in the tree after dark.Plan on extensive tracking for every kill, and it'll make you a better hunter.
