[QUOTE="Thescandinavian, post: 1728491, member: 107409"] Is it gonna kill you or are your family gonna starve if you don't shoot? You never have to shoot and you should never regret a shot you did not fire. We had similar problems as the OP in the past and the government simply banned hunting without dog that has passed practical tests at following blood trail. I do not have this so I have a contract with someone owning a dog and I have to call them if I lost an animal and they will be there within a few hours(mostly 45min) and start looking. Even if this is not the law there I can't see a reason you can't make a deal with someone who has a dog. I do however see the landscape so I suspect it's not practical for anyone to drive for hours to help you out. I hunt mostly in full moon (thermal optics and artificial light is illegal here, but hunt at night is not) so I know how hard finding game can be. Every change in vegetation looks like a dead deer if not looking to a high quality scope. I often walk towards 4-5 low bushes before I actually find the shadow that is a deer and this is open grassland at ranges less than a 100yards. [/QUOTE]
