[QUOTE="jrham55, post: 2950429, member: 128155"] Shooting prone, I was able to watch the bullet hit the animal. She ran straight down hill like crazy, I actually for a spit second thought she was rolling down the hill. Cow was with a larger herd that moved into the adjacent dark timber and then went straight uphill through the dark timber. I followed blood in the dark timber and lost blood about 1/2 way up this hill. Went to top and didn’t find any blood on top. On day #2, I followed the herds tracks from the top of the hill. About 1/2 mile away I found blood again, but lost blood after another 1/2 mile when the snow ran out. So I tracked the animal for roughly 1 mile from where she was shot. [/QUOTE]
