I had read a study from down in the states where they were studing lethality abd they used dogs to track wounded animals (it was a control hunt like the elk hunt in cypress). the dogs really helped finding wounded animal, many were considered unrecoverable without dogs.
A couple of years ago my Father inlaw shoots a deer and we cannot find any evidence of a hit, untill the next day when the ravens announced they had found the leftovers. Tere was not alot left when I found it so I could not tell where the shot was but I tried back trailing the 200 yards (heavy northern SK bush) but sesides for the dead deer I could not find sign.
Ever since I don't trust that I found no evidence of a hit, a tracking dog would be a great help.
