Bad Shot Leaves a Hard Tracking Job

Good going!
I've met folks that just give up with out really looking.
I hunt Florida also, they find the thickest spots to get into. I hunt in Citrus, Hernando, and Sumter Counties. Mostly.
Where abouts do you hunt?

I'm sorry I missed this. I live in Sumter County but hunt in the panhandle. I used to hunt Flying Eagle and Potts a lot.

No problem.
I live in Sumter County also, we're neighbors.

Congratulations on your decent shooting and awesome recovery! Some times it takes both. I once shot a cow elk at about 60yds....just as she was spinning to take off. found hair right away....on top of 10" fresh snow...but no blood. I followed several elk trails out of the bedding area before finding a speck....I mead a pin prick, of blood I would never have seen w/o the snow. This told me this was her trail and within another 30yds....maybe 60yds from where she was hit...there was lots of blood spray from a solid lung hit. I found her not 100 yds from where she was hit....couldn't believe the lack of blood where she was hit.
