Default RE: Recovery, What to do after the shot.

More great advice guys, keep it coming...we need to find all the animals this year...I just hope members are reading and letting these posts sink in....


One thing I thought of post, post..lol and nobody mentioned yet is.....

When all else fails and the blood quits or you feel you' ve jumped an animal.....look towards water. A hard hit animal, especially one that isn' t an immediate mortal one will seek water. That' s the case in many times on gut or liver shot animals...more so gut shot ones. They may seek a creek/stream bed, pond, river or whatever. Many times you' ll find your animal lying there or close by. That' s been the case on a couple gut shot deer we' ve found over the years.
