TRACKING AN ANIMAL
Hunters must be careful when tracking a wounded
animal. They should always be prepared to find
cover in case there are other animals nearby that
could attack. Hunters should be careful when they
find the animal, too. An animal with its eyes closed
is likely still alive. It could still injure the hunter.
