I beat feet and came back an hour and a half later. Good blood, water, oh crap, less blood. I'm now like WTF... The bull was on a trail so I stayed with it. Branched off so many ways grid searching and hoping to smell him, NOTHING. I'm getting LOW morale wise thinking there's NO WAY he's gonna survive but, where's the freaking blood??? I go back to last blood 3x. Finally go to last blood. Close my eyes and replay the shot with my eyes close.
Bull turns, I release, lighted nock disappears, good hit. Bull runs through water, runs in rocks, runs in water. OH, where's 2nd water spot. Go to last blood, look left, 10'x4' pool of water. Walk to edge, peek across, blood on sticker. I jump in water and look uphill through the mess, good blood. "Hell yea, game on", jump up the bank and there he is 25yds from last blood, I was so relieved. I spend 1.5hrs looking for nothing lol.
