When trailing a wounded animal, you notice it bedded down but still alive. What should you do?

  1. Make another shot immediately.

  2. Approach loudly to scare it into moving again.

  3. Back off and give it time to expire before approaching again.

  4. Call for help to bring more people.

The correct answer is: Back off and give it time to expire before approaching again.

When trailing a wounded animal and you notice it bedded down but still alive, the best course of action is to back off and give the animal time to expire before approaching again. Approaching the wounded animal immediately or loudly may cause it to panic and run further, making it more challenging to recover. It is essential to give the animal space and time to succumb to its injuries so that you can approach safely and humanely. Calling for help may be necessary in certain situations, but the priority should be to give the animal time to expire before considering the next steps in the recovery process.
