[QUOTE="scn, post: 4977147, member: 1859"] There are a lot of variables in play. If you have other hunters in the area that are likely to jump him up, then the answer moves towards looking a little quicker. If you don't, wait a good while. I've read from several sources that I consider reliable that waiting at least 4 hours is advisable. BUT, it is going to be hot this afternoon. Once he dies, he will begin spoiling fairly quickly, particularly with a gut shot. That moves the pendulum some back towards not waiting that long. Great advice above in still hunting to him rather than a fast track on the blood. Try to see him first through some binos and be ready to anchor him with a neck shot if his head is up. Good luck!
