Yep, it was a good common sense post Tahr - and something I'll try to follow.
I was more asking if I HAD to leave it overnight would the meat be ok.
I'd taken my young boy out and had shot just on dark, but could not for the life of me find a blood trail. Was getting a little frantic. In the end the younger eyes actually found the spot where it had exited the clearing and fallen in a channel in a hidden clearing less than 20m from where I hit it. Looking around - absolutely no blood.
