I agree with oldtimr
typically its the last shot in it that gets it
and I agree with Flags, I just get to hunt more then too!
I have been on the other side of this a few times over the yrs
where a guy shot a deer, deer ran, and ended up where I could see it, and laid down
I waited for guy to show up tracking deer,(10+ minutes) and they never came,(one time even seen them just walk the other way,a nd I even yelled to them where the deer was at?)
so I ended up shooting them and using my tag on a deer I really didn;t want,
even did this once on a very expensive hunt in Alberta Canada!, but right thing to do for ME was put the animal down and ends its suffering!!
