I've spent an hour covering a couple of hundred square feet, sounds like you kind of half assed it some. Ethically and practically, you just can't do that sort thing.
I wish that I had a hunting dog. Not in the budget.
I honestly don't think that I did it poorly. The area had a slight creek bed with some trees, mostly cut alfalfa. There was a slight rise from the field to the road, searched it a lot, and a small knoll that was cut short. That is the one I got onto and glassed. The only other area was the house of the rancher. Didn't see anything there either. I counted the deer in the escaping herd, and they were all there, except the one I hit. I simply felt that there was nothing for me to go on anymore, and I had no access to the big ranch on the other side of the street.
