Anyone who knows their rifle and their limitations, who does their level best to find a wounded animal, and who genuinely feels bad for losing one is not the problem. Sometimes they get away, that's the truth. If you have the time and the drive, I say fill that tag if you can.

Conversely the guy that shoots at any range, doesn't even look for blood, doesn't really care if he finds it or not after a short look... he's not gonna quit either. He'll wound them til he gets one.

The point is, the first guy deserves to fill a tag and it's his business if he wants to keep hunting, not yours. Come to think of it, it's not your business either way.
