Default RE: After the Shot. Tips for the upcoming seasons.

Great reccomendations Rob/PA Bowyer....... I always wait a minimum of 1 hour and when at all possible 2 hours.( unless I see it die at close range) Learned a few hard lessons when I was young and starting. The person who really taught me the sport had shot 35-40 deer with a bow. His rule was to always wait 2 hours! If the shot was questionable or you didn't know where you hit, wait 4 hours or the next morning.( rain or warm weather changes this slightly) He learned this from years of experience. If you push or bump the deer your in for a real mess and alot of work.

PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!
