Arrowed a cow, waited 1/2 hr and then lost tracks and sign on a skid road. Spent all of the next day running out every possibility. Two weeks later encountered some other hunters in the same locale, and two weeks back to the day they'd had a cow fall over dead in front of their rig. Waited about 20 minutes and no one showed up, so they loaded her up. They were still hauling my arrow around and I at least got that back. Glad Mother Nature was not the consumer.
If you draw blood and don’t recover do you notch your tag?
Seems to be the policy if one is using a guide in this neck of the woods. Draw blood and your hunt is over.
