[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 1727931, member: 47425"] You didn't say what kind of animal? If you spent 8hrs or more looking, you probably have exhausted possibilities. If elk, you can probably give it up. I shot a bull once with a 340 Wby qtring away (270yds) and he was drt, but he wasn't. I turned around and was celebrating with my friend and turned back to see what we thought might have been another similar bull walking thru some thick timber right next to my bull. My friend says is that him and do you want to shoot again? I said no, since I had shot one that dropped right there and I was hunting with a Governor's tag I won in a raffle which if you were to shoot two they would frown on much worse than normal. 20-30 secs later this bull turns into the timber and secs after we hear a brush wreck like a dozer going thru the woods. We get to him, hit right where I wanted, broke 4 ribs to bits on the right, they turned the bullet, went thru the edge of the heart and both lungs and broke the left shoulder. Didn't see him get up, but he walked 70-80 yds thru thick timber like he had not been hit. Did you do a repetitively growing circular search? Sorry you lost it. [/QUOTE]
