[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 528869, member: 13632"] I was watching a video the other day and they bailed on the trail way early and in the morning the coyotes had found it not to mention these guys were hunting in tee shirts so you know that animal spoiled. As I was thinking about it and I think it depends on where you hunt and how you were raised. I don't havet to worry about loosing an animal to property lines and I'm hunting for meat and it is not a sport to me so getting an animal fast and keeping the meat in good shape is the motivation so I get it hell or high water. If I were hunting on small properties I could see wanting to just let it bed up as soon as possible and not bump it out and have it die where I can't at least make an attempt to retrieve it. I was also raised that if you pull the trigger you track stuff down and confirm it clean or put it down. It helps that most of my hunting is usually in snow so it's much easier to track so I can walk them down but some of these guys are shooting animals in areas where you need a dang good blood trail or for them to stay close since the tracking conditions are not good. Bottom line for me is somethings bug me that I see but I'm not standing in their shoes at the time so I really can't know the reasons for the decisions and so I just make an effort to make my decisions the best I can.
