Multiple blood trails can suck but as long as a person is willing to put out all the effort necessary to recover the animals I don’t see how this can be considered unethical but then again most of the stuff people spout off as being ethics questions on a lot of these posts I don’t understand any way.

More power to those that are willing to put out the effort . OH yea congrats on the nice deer Len
