10/4 on that
Where I hunt it's so thick that if you don't find significant blood within 10' or so, many times you don't find your animal. I don't have dogs for tracking. Also, here in October, it can easily be in the mid nineties at sundown. Between the temps, the hogs, coyotes, fox, ants and other vermin, there is no coming back and looking the next morning.
I believe in the dominion covenant. That is that man was to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth and that he was given dominion over the birds of the air and beasts of the field. I have no problem with killing, and am not critical of how any hunter chooses to take his game. I don't worry about ethics when considering the fact that I am killing a living being, skinning it, dismembering it and burning its flesh for my sustenance. I have just set a standard for myself as to what and when.
Best to you and yours.
GWB
