I honestly cant put into words how gutted I feel , but the Kaimais can do that too a guy.

Don't feel too bad Mohawk

Put it down to a learning experience.

My old man would call a smoko break after a shot sometimes when the deer run and use this time to listen to where the deer went and give them time to settle down.

Often they wouldn't go too far.

And no matter how careful we are or how much we practise our marksmanship to ensure quick humane kills eventually you will loose one not matter how hard you look.

Like I said you'll find him next week when he starts to stink up, probally only meters from your GPS tracks.

Could you see if the animal was struggling with its gait or footing by its marks while following it up?

Yup , that's the other thing. As the blood dried up , so did his prints .
No sign of stubbling or having a leg busted but he was not moving that fast too start with because I heard him bolt at around 200 mtrs into the chase. I thought it was another deer till I found more blood . I could hear steps then heard him pick up the pace as I got closer.

If you can I would go back later like Pete said and find him by smell.
It will put your mind at ease but it happens to anyone who has done enough hunting.
Hope ya find him. By catching up to him a couple times I reckon he is hit pretty hard.

Wouldn't think a flesh wound with the dark huge blood splatters? Flesh wound is typically light coloured blood and not much.

If his tracks disappeared and so did the blood it sounds like you were probably pretty close to him and was under a bush or fern etc. we bit of a drive back but a dog would no doubt find it, depends how far the walk is to him tho

I usually stay clear of those flesh wounds at that time of the month....

Southern ruhaines on friday.

Spooked one and found a trail of small wallows leading to this one.
No roars

Huge amount of pig sign
Very dry and hot hot 28C on the hill according to my Suunto
No roaring and plenty of sweat left on the hill

Bummer Mohawk. Was it a good head you reckon? Good luck in finding him. Im sure you will if you keep going back.

I shot him inside 20 metres , aiming too take out his front wheels but think I might have gone just behind the shoulder. No sign of lung blood , or gut blood just dark red stuff.
I went after him too fucken quick , he was holding about 60mtrs from where I shot him and probly would have sat down and seised up if I hadent been a dick . Once he spooked it was all over .
Duno if I need a cuddle or a kick in the arse right now , but Im feeling abit suck.

I've done the exact same thing mate. Stag shot at 30 odd metres behind the shoulder. Blood for Africa then dried up and he stood up and moved off in front of me. Tracked him with two extremely good GWP's for over a km. The whole wounded deer run downhill thing is bullshit.
It's a shitty feeling for sure.
