[QUOTE="db-2, post: 190809, member: 4743"] As luck would have it (however determination is a big part of this) I and my son have found every deer we shot with an arrow (about 14 over the last twenty years). A couple were the next day and no meat was left but they were found and tag as we are horn hunters besides the meat for my son. I eat beef. Two were not found till earlier spring and were tagged when found (only deer shot that season). One again by determination and many, many hours of walking and the other due to a raven's help as the bones were still there. Hard to find in cattails. It would be nice to find right away and we have learn to do a better job of tracking as time has gone on and a better job of hitting the right spot and least for him (he does practice all the time). Now use the light in the nock and I feel that does help somewhat. Flashlights that show blood are of no use but taking the time and step by step. He has the patience to do this, I do not. He sees blood when I only see grass or twigs. Coyotes, birds and ravens can be a big help. He has trained his dog to find sheds and the dog does find more than we do. But for now I need to work on the shot. Maybe when dogs are legal and for the most part I would think this is good. Hell, a couple of neighbors used horses to hunt with. I have deer go only twenty yards and die but my first one went about 500 yards in brush. Rotary cup tear and maybe a cross bow would help me out on this. db [/QUOTE]
