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

BobCO,

You have a point, however I am not wrong.....that is why the words, at least are part of the equation. I' d want members to wait longer. Actually, single lung hits are not that hard to identify. If your arrow goes high in the lungs, under the spine and you don' t see/hear your animal go down, chances are you didn' t get both lungs and there are no other vital organs above the lungs unless you happen to catch the artery. Waiting a couple hours won' t help you here, perhaps even 4 hours isn' t enough but getting down and pushing this animal isn' t the right answer either.....it' s a judgement call and suggestive.
