RE: Recovery, What to do after the shot.
Calling your shot is even more important to an archer than a gun hunter. There are times to sit and wait and then there are times to get after the animal. Trailing Wounded Deer by John Trout Jr. is an excellent study on calling your shot, the animals reaction to the shot and when to track and when to wait on wounded deer.
In my honest opinion, this book should be in every archer' s library.
