LAST EDITED ON Oct-19-14 AT 04:16PM (MST)[p]From you guys experience, how long does it usually take for the birds to find a dead animal after it has died? I hit a good buck last night and he dropped immediately, and from the way he dropped, I guessed I had broken his back. I get over to where he fell and the ground is alll dug up and he has bailed off a steep wash behind him. Ended up going back in this morning and find a few drips of blood and a few places it looks like he has stumbled. I am beside myself as I haven't lost an animal in years. I am sure by now, if he is dead, that I have lost the meat, but would love to find him. We looked this morning for 4 1/2 hours and I am back at it again pushing my crippled up body, hoping to find him. I was hoping maybe the birds would find him, thus my question. ? I am sick over loosing him but realize these things do happen. It is just not a good thing when they do..
