Called it quits at 11:30. We trailed him a long long long long ways and finally gave it up for the night. Had a really good blood trail 90% of the time and trailed for over 2 1/2 hours. Last spot we had blood there was a bunch of it, but after that we had nothin so we decided to back out. Kinda thinking only got one lunch and he was still up slowly moving ahead of us. Fixing to get back after him now.
Well, we've covered about half the ranch's timber with no luck. The rains last night (or flood) washed everything away so basically we were working from scratch just hoping to find him laid up. Sick at my stomach would be an understatement. The more Ive thought about it he's gotta be laid up dead somewhere with as much blood as he lost.
Taking a break and grabbing a drink an snack then back at it
