Bow Hunting Tip

[HD]

So, you've shot a deer 🦌
And you are wondering when you should start tracking it.
Here is a helpful chart for what type of shot you are dealing with.

In general I don't disagree with the start tracking times.  This is ok IF you shot a big buck and you just want the antlers.  However, if it's a deer you plan to butcher and eat, I don't agree as most of the deer found 12-24 hours after dying will probably be spoiled.

I always try and see how good the hit was and how they reacted as leaving the hit spot. Most cases I will head out slow in 1/2hr. If bumped then let it sit a few more hours or over night if shot in the evening.

This seems extreme to me.  If you make a good shot on a deer with your bow, it is dead within 2 minutes.  If it's a poor shot, best to wait.  Snow on the ground makes a big difference too.
