Very sound advice Rob. If only patience was every hunter's virture. If your unsure about the shot, give it time. Just lose your first deer and you'll be wish'n you followed that advice word for word. If the deer is dead in 2hrs, he'll still be dead 4-6 hours later. So stay calm and be patient.

I carry an older arrow in my quiver that I use as a "marking arrrow" to point the place where the deer was hit. Makes it easier to start tracking because the woods look different once you climb down.

First thing I do is calm down and replay the shot in my mind paying attention to shot placement and direction the game went. Second I move to the shot spot to look for any initial blood in order to determine vital or vitals hit and determine a time to wait before tracking. I have had great success with this method and it has left me with no spoiled meat or coyote torn animals. Also I would appreciate any and all comments or views at my channel.

I used to hunt with a bunch who were lousey shots, but had access to allot of woods that I didnt. I was sorta new in town and started pushing small sections with them. Out of all the deer we killed, I think I killed 3/4 of them, and most of my shots were hard hits, dropping the deer in pretty close. Many of the rest of the bunch would wing them, but we always recovered them, even if it was hit in a lower leg. Its a neet little trick, and involves knowing your area. If there is a bad hit, dont pressure the deer, just wait untill a couple of guys set up down the way the deer is moving. Then one guy goes in to follow, and stay on the radio in case they need to adjust. I dont hunt with those idiots any more, but It was an effective trick i learned from them. I also like using my St. Bernard to find deer even if I know where it fell. He loves finding dead deer for me! I stick one, and go home and get the dog, when he sees me in my hunting clothes, he knows what we are doing.
