[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 5201800, member: 7419"] this is why I don't do it. I didn't go Sunday AM and could have as the rain held out, but the prospect of getting there, possibly shooting one, and the rain starting up kept me in bed. I shot one the day before my son was born in the afternoon. No rain in the forecast. I shot her right at dusk. I was waiting a few when I heard what sounded to be rain. It was. I immediately got down. By the time I got down (not long) the blood trail was gone. I assume it may have been a bad blood trail, but it was not there, by the time I got down. After looking for a while I realized I would not find her and my very pregnant wife was at home. I packed up and if it weren't for the fact she ran to and fell down on the walking trail out, I'd have never found her. Just got lucky. To me it isn't worth the risk. [B]Edited to add[/B]... If you are talking about gun/ML hunting then yes I will do that. usually more blood (too much to wash a way) and deer don't run as far. In addition there is less foliage and it is easier to find them. [/QUOTE]
