Caught up to one that had lost both front legs. It went a little more than 200 yards and contrary to what you think, other than hair, bone and a little meat at hit site it didn't have a noticeable blood trail as I followed Jax. The other was a one leg it and it bled decently well for awhile but it clotted up and stopped bleeding much. On a leg hit (rifle) it is critical to go after it ASAP to keep it struggling and bleeding. Keeping it moving it needs good blood flow to keep oxygen moving. If it has a chance to slow down and calm down it will help it stop bleeding. They get around surprisingly well on 3 legs.</blockquote>
