we looked for hours and did the circles, the lines,every path of least resistance, you name it, we did it, thats when we got the dog and spooked it, i think it hit good, but exited out of the stomache, would it clot up wihtin 25 yards or so from where i shot it? it was in water when i shot it, it ran the path of least resistance , into a grassy area and then into the high.thick palmettos, where we spooked him, at this point i'll be loking for buzzards because i will never find it in that stuff without the dog, but i could try her again....
