A bull that beds up for ten hours is likely hurt pretty bad. Even in the middle of the day they'll usually get up and move around every few hours. Ten hours is a long time. I've seen elk take a lot of punishment and travel a long distance after taking hits that would ultimately be fatal. Wounding does happen, but I agree with Ron Duval. If he wants to keep hunting he should hunt for that particular bull and only that bull.
