And I don't own a boat or a quad, so I would use whatever I can find that is available to recover it, if it ends up in water. I have actually been in on a moose kill, where one of our party waded out and tied a rope onto a moose in a pond. That is one reason that I prefer to hunt moose late season, or away from the swamps.

There's only one way to guarantee a DRT- hit it in the CNS.
Pretty much, even an animal with two broken front shoulders can push itself with the hind legs. I have seen a deer go farther than I would have ever thought possible doing just that.
