[QUOTE="FlGunner, post: 3068549, member: 94240"] The ones I’m speaking of that I’m called to bring in a dog to help recover are animals not being chased but rather mostly shot from a stand. Marginal hits in my experience usually mean it will not stay where it was hit, but will most certainly try and run and will then lay up in a place where it feels safe again. That distance is entirely up to the animal. Sometimes it’s short, sometimes it’s long. I’ve recovered deer that’s went nearly 2 miles. But I’ve also found deer that’s went only 50-60 yds. Most of my experiences are in the Deep South and Midwest. But I’ve also helped find 2 elk while out west on hunts that others have shot. Both were marginal hits and both covered about a half mile before laying up. [/QUOTE]
