Nobody likes to admit when they make a bad shot but sadly it happens. I need some help here. I took a quartering to shot 2 days ago on a bull with a 300 win mag. it was a tight shot but I believe the bull stepped as I squeezed the trigger and it hit a little far back. the blood trail was all of 80 yards, dark dark blood. the last 40 yards were just one drop about 10 yards apart. I lost the tracks about 200 yards from last blood. I waited an hour from the shot to start my search, after circling for a few hours I sat water. I am lost as to how I can get some closure on this bull. I believe with that caliber of rifle he is dead but I'd love some input on how I could improve my tracking skills or thoughts on this specific case. I have been hunting elk for a long time and this is my first unrecovered animal. I'm losing sleep over it and feel sick about it. Any help would be appreciated, please leave out any remarks on "make a better shot", I'm already in a dark enough place! ha
