Ground Shots
by
When hunting from the ground remember the trajectory of the shot changes. With the bullet or arrow entering at a more level angle, the animal may not leave as good of a blood trail as it would if shot from an elevated position. Where an angled trajectory allows the blood to pour freely from the body, leaving an easy trail to follow, a level one may allow the blood to pool inside the body cavity. If this happens, you may find little to no blood. Don’t give up looking though, widen your search area from the spot of the shot and you’ll likely find your animal down.
