thats a bummer.

i shot a cow opening day last year, tracked her for 400plus yards, about 5 hours maybe. and lost the blood trail.

i told a group of guys about it and where she was headed, sure enough a few days later i found her dead, half my arrow still in her. and the rear quater of her cutt off. and a 100ft rope laying next to her.

it sucks but that kind of stuff happens.
