In thick cover, it wouldnt matter if you had 4 guns. I was there. Tracking a big buck injured when it tried to jump over a car doing 45mph. I followed the blood to an area with very dense growth. The cougar was also tracking. I decided to leave, but on my way out untill I was clear of the thick stuff I realised the cougar had a big advantage. Noise was probably a better tool than a firearm in that situation.
