[QUOTE="1tonpower, post: 888582, member: 39135"] i shot this dog on the top edge of a sand pit..the dog ran down into the low area. the last time i saw it, it was at the base of the hill with a lot of under brush at the base of the hill. the way it ran off i wouldnt think that it had the strength needed to climb the hill. i went back with my dog and searched every inch of the low areas, checked all the wash outs and rock piles. 3 hours of poking around the area only to come up empty handed. the sand was frozen so tracking it was near impossible. and no blood other then when i shot it. my lab has helped recover down deer before so she has what it takes to trail down game. it was just a bad day all around... im in the national guard, and it was my drill weekend. thats why i didnt have all my hunting gear with me. the rifle never leaves the truck during the season. i had time to get to my favourite spot for sunrise before i had to be at the unit. i fired the shot just after 7. running short on time and seeing how the dog went stiff and tipped over, i rushed to pick it up...that was my number 1 mistake and will take head shots next time im on that kind of time crunch. that dog ran on pure adrenaline.
