I use to track down wounded animals with a hound in Vt. I've had to dispatch more than I care to with a knife as you are not allow to carry/use a firearm via the permit you need to do this. After the first season of doing this I made the client dispatch the animal. If the blatting deer didn't move you my hound balling after it died would.
To me personally this is something I'm very conscious to avoid. Coyotes not so much. Bears I hunted were over hounds and the shot taken is close. I made sure the hunter was putting it in the best possible place if they were to take a shot. Most were left to hunt another day due to size/sex
