[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1999036, member: 63925"] The hardest decision to make is to back out for at least 8 hours after a gut hit without pressuring the animal at all. If you do that, the animal will likely be within couple hundred yards at most and likely dead or in enough shock they will not be able to get up and can finish off. If at last light leave overnight which I know with temps can be a difficult decision but they will not be dead too long by the time you find them in morning and hopefully yotes haven't ravaged it. Gut shots are recoverable but you cannot push an animal after one, the odds of recovery are virtually nil especially in heavy cover. Very difficult to get another shot into them even with a rifle.
