(1) Same as No. 3 on opposite page, but bullet did not penetrate to the 

 lungs. The animal dies slowly, and after a couple of hours is 

 usually shot in its bed. (2) The cross jump; result of a bullet 

 through intestines or liver when the animal was broadside to the 

 hunter usually the slowest killing shot. (3) The tracks of a 

 wounded deer never register where the animal was walking. 



AH these curious jumps may be seen on one trail, alternating with jumps as made by 

 a sound deer. They indicate soft shots, and should not be followed within two hours 

 after the animal was shot. Blood, etc., on the trail decides for the tracker where the 

 bullet struck. Usually the less blood the surer the animal will be found dead after a 

 few hours.
