Excellent. Thanks. I agree more stories from the field might revive HBC.

Great bull thanks for the story. It is stories like this that make one come back to this site, not all the bitching and whining that seems to have taken over this site, oh and your Chasing Whities thread is one of the best, keep up the good work. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS you deserve it

At Up hill he was a gone'er .. Especially 2+km away... Dad shot a moose once, they tracked it hard. They found it the next year over the top. He went up, they searched up but not enough. Didn't have blood.
You put in a great effort. Im sure that bull is still moving today.... I have lost one animal myself, it has made me very nervous every time I go look for what I shot... Still today. And that was maybe close to 10 years ago.

I know that most people say that once you hit an animal, it goes "downhill"...Originally Posted by 835
which is very true and sound advice...but....I have seen animal, that was hit, that did expire,
but had gone uphill!
It can happen, and only pass it along as a thought when the blood trail runs out, or is non existent, that people
don't just assume to give up when all the "downhill" options have run out.

It is any and all hunters obligation to make all reasonable efforts to find their wounded animal.
I get annoyed when I hear stories of a hunter taking a shot, pretty sure they hit it, take a peak and abandon their search in minutes.
I spent the better part of two full days looking for that elk.
I am reasonably sure that this bull survived seeing the distance, elevation and time he carried on after being shot.
Message being, search to the best of your ability once you have hit an animal.

Yup, been there, done that...it happens, no matter how long we have been at it.
And yes, everyone needs to do everything they can to find it, or exhaust all possibilities.
I know one time I lost an elk, blood trail ran out...spent 2 days looking, but never got closer to figuring it out.
Then, while leaving on the last night, just before dark, after a week long hunt to go home, I saw some ravens.
Made me sick....but I knew I tried....
All I could do at that point was to "report it".
But then there have been times where I thought maybe the animal was missed, and got away, only to find out that
it was down.....you have to try, we owe it to that animal we have tried to harvest.
