Not much in to eating Wounded animals that have been Limping around for days!
But I will put 120% in to recovering the Animal even if it takes days/weeks!
I see to many Hunters Give Up Only to move on & Wound another Animal,TOTAL BS!
I can't stand to know there's a wounded animal that I might be able to Help Locate!
Had a decent recovery record until last Fall,Spent 3 Days Tracking a wounded Animal,3 different Beds,a couple of Storms that really slowed me down,I failed,but Hope the Animal made it through,I think He did!
Think about this though:
Took some Hunters as many as 20 years to Pull the Tag!
Basically a Once in a Lifetime shot at a Trophy!
I know the Elite few Ethical Hunters will Punch their Tag on the 1st wounded animal no matter what!
But there is a High Percentage that will move on & on & on till they put the Tag on an Animal!
Sad but True!
Founder just Banned My Signature!
Hang in there!
I'm working on another one!
