No worries Loomis. With archery, I've always been told that you need to give them time to lay down, stiffen up and die, without being pushed. If you don't push them, the theory is that they'll never get up from that first spot. If you push them, the adrenaline can keep them going for miles. I actually don't know that I waited long enough - I saw a Primos video where they waited 5 hours before heading after the bull because they were concerned that the shot missed the lungs. Even with vital shots, the pro archery guys usually wait around an hour unless they see the animal go down.
