I know I have pushed recovery with bad results several times. It’s WAAAY too common……If I had to guess I’d say about 3 out 4 tracks we may go on with the dogs have been pushed before we ever get there……We as hunters just don’t have enough appreciation for how tough the deer are and how long they can live after a marginal shot. We need to change our idea of waiting after the shot to much longer than we do…….30 minutes to an hour is nothing on a marginal hit…..even several hours is nothing for some hits. The thing about it is though……..if you just won’t push the deer then he most likely won’t go anywhere. If they’re injured then their instinct is to lay down and hole up somewhere…..NOT to travel 100’s and 100’s of yards.
Folks that know don't shoot old does........
