Tracking dog around Dallas County

Will pay for anybody with a tracking dog close to me. Shot a big thick bodied 8 point this evening, and had to back off tracking him because of daylight and not wanting to push him. Big, fat, old, and kinda lazy buck to be honest. Damn near perfect shot.I heard the round thump em from across the field. He went down hard but got right up and hit the hardwoods where he came from. It's just me down here today so I dont have any extra eyes to help me with the search. I was hoping to be dropping him off at Ken's in Autuagaville right about now but today just hasn't been my day. Let me know if yall know anybody around these neck of the woods who'd be willing to assist.

Look at the top of the serious talk forum page and you’ll see a thread with trackers, names , territories and phone numbers listed. Good luck and keep us posted!

You need to call art powers.

How far did you track him?

This

My uncle called finally called me back and said he got in touch with his buddy in Potters Station who has a dog. I'd probably shed a tear if we dont recover him. Been after him for a while now and he always had the upper hand on me. Will keep yall updated.

Just make sure the dog is legit. Don't mess it up with a mutt

Call this man now

Any luck yet?

Alright so my uncle and the old fella John came out. We started where I lost blood the first time
The little old gal did well after having to warm up it seemed like. We got back on the trail and came up to a small creek bed where it looked like the buck laid for a good while. Nice size puddle of blood mixed in the mud. After crossing the creek bed, we lost blood again but found a small amount near the pond and our property line. That last blood was on the trail leading right to the pond the deer always use. The dog came up to the pond and looked like she got anxious. Both those fellas are positive the buck jumped into the pond after I pushed him the first time. I was already hot and frustrated with myself. I said my thanks and hit the road back to the city. Damn good looking little beagle that guy was running. I hate he doesn't do computers/cell phones. He would be a funny old fart on here. Going to bed.

Yep he's a good guy, with some great dogs...

What time you got art powers meeting you this morning?

Why come on here asking for advice but then going and doing what's not advised? I'm sure that beagle had fun getting out to play. Smdh

It's amazing we do this every year. I need a good dog post, then disregard all the experience we have had with good dogs and the OP says well my buddy brought his lab out etc. Mind numbing

Not knowing the situation, or the terrain, I'm just guessing if he wasn't floating in the pond he likely came out somewhere. Still a chance to find him today, but not likely after the rain this weekend.

257,you're right. A-hole. But after having to go back to the highway to get cell service and tired of waiting up there for call backs, I figured I'd ask you guys for help to see if yall knew anybody who'd be willing to come out there. By the time I got service to get back on this site and saw the guy yall mentioned, they were already en route. Didnt find the buck last night because the dog lost em at the pond. Anyway, I found the rascal at 75 yard on the opposite end of the pond at the tip of a woodline. I'll post a pic of em when I get off shift this evening. Thanks for the reference. I'd love to meet Art soon.

Glad you found your buck.

Yes glad you found him then

I hate being right all the time. But it's my cross to bear.

Good deal.

Glad you found him.

Way to go for not giving up.

Matt... You're an A-hole!
Hot dam! Now we know!

Congrats. Glad it all worked out for you.

We can add A-hole to boo boo head and bully.

I wear my badge with pride

Congrats on the buck! Look forward to pics

Congrats great job finding him!!!

x2! Looking forward to seeing the pic.

Dang, ya'll are rough on a guy...geez.

Congrats and respect for NOT giving up!!!! Way to common these days it seems.

24hr shift?

Glad you found him but why do these always start out with....Made a awesome shot or hit him good? Well if you really did you wouldn't be on here wanting a tracking dog but I guess it happens.

So, where are the pics of said deer???

Pics or it didn't happen

Can somebody tell me how to upload pics on here? Or pm a number to text so you can upload for me please?

Ole 257. Do you not have a full time job, dumbass? Are you retired or something? I work 12-14 hours on my work days and don't have time to get on the net all hours of the day. Send me a phone number to text and you upload for me? Sorry brother, trust me when I say I'm a bigger asshole than you are. Now PM me your number so you can upload for me, or just STFU.

Well, this is interesting.

Fiesty!

1bama, judging by how he went down I actually thought I made an awesome shot and hit him pretty good. Pretty sure you've been in this situation before. It's all a part of hunting. And yes, i guess it happens. Thanks buddy.

Pm to you

Balls in your court. You got my number now.

SouthernBuck27, you're off to a great start here on Aldeer.

Grow thicker skin or one of the moderators will be along shortly and put you in time out.

Jus sayin...

Here's the pic of southernbuck27's deer

Seems to me like his skin is pretty thick.

I did not know that you had to post pics of your deer or use a specific tracker to be a member on here???

Shoot.....I better go read the Rules again!

I agree with you Hogwild. I like his style.

Nice buck. And based on that wound I’m surprised he went as far as he did. Congrats on recovering it.

Guys simmer down, simmer down. I promise ya, I'm all for good fun times and giving heat to the ones that can give, and take it. We're all sportsman with thick skin. I was just giving the guys a hard time. 257, thanks for the PM and your help. And thanks Ronnie for offering to upload for me as well. Would love to meet some of yall in the blackbelt area! Thick skin I do have! I'm sorry if my sarcasm was a bit much!

It's all good. Just glad the deer was recovered.

Nice buck! Congrats

[quote=outdoorobsession]Nice buck! Congrats[/quote

Good one!
Glad you were able to find him!

Glad you got him.....fine buck.

Sorry, I mis-read the situation. Glad deer was recovered and all is good.

Fine buck

Pay no attention to 1bamashooter. He's an A-Hole too!

Nice buck - glad you stayed with it got him recovered. Will look great on the wall!!

Hell that buck deer don't look like he's crossed a pond to me, and doesn't his coat look like an early season buck deer

Ole Barney the beagle says different

Nice deer I am surprised u needed a dog that looks very close to drt shot

How far did that deer go?

God Bless,
David B.

Somebody pull the metadata from the pic. We’ve got a Timber 2 code red over here!

Hmmmm

James, southwood7. You two must be cuckolds that enjoy watching other men pleasing your wives because yall lack the equipment. I'm willing to bet yall might be butt buddies, acting like little sissies. 😂I'm going to assume you guys are just giving me heat just for the helluvit. You cannot be serious. My goodness guys. Not that I have to explain anything to you dipchits, but like i told 257 in text msgs, the deer never even crossed the damn pond. The dog went clueless at the pond. And those guys figured he went in. I went back the next monring at first daylight and found him on the opposite side at a woodline, which was way off their normal trail. Pull the metadata and whatever else you need to float your boat. I frankly dont give a flying puck. To the guys who said congrats, thanks. To the asshats and chitheads, PM for details on how to properly go phuck yourselves. 😏

1bamashooter. I can already tell you're a beta male. Grow a pair buddy. Hopefully we can grab a beer soon down your way in Marengo county. I'm not that far from ya.

this is why we cant have nice things

Nice buck, congrats!

And here I we thinking you didn’t complete the 5th grade 😂

Congrats again in the buck.

He said beta male, you don’t learn that until the 7th grade
