Good call. Besides, now you get hunt him again. Imagine if you had only wounded him and we had another thread here about a wounded trophy lost. How would you feel if one of your neighbors took that bad shot and wounded the animal never to be found?
Lunar calendar: When I get to hunt, I hunt. Moon phase be damned! I have limited time, so I hunt when I can. I will say that a new moon has always given me the best luck and the full moon at night I rarely see deer. They can see at night on a full moon and move all night.
