Doc, I'm between Benton & Whitehall.

Probably not!!! Think his dog took some lead last week.

Thanks for the info guys. I have a phone call in to a gentlemen named Art Powers.

Good Luck. Hope ya'll find it. Keep us updated.

PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS A JOKE.

ummm...what?

Lucy is fine, she is back home resting. She was accidentally shot by some shrapnel on a track Mike had. I talked to him the other day and it was scary but believes she will make a full recovery.

Good to hear she'll be ok

Yep, supposed to make a full recovery, she's just gonna be bob-tailed now.

Wow! How'd it happen? Someone finishing off a wounded deer & bullet frag get her?

Thanks aldoghunter. Art came out quick, he and his dog gave it there best shot. But we did not find my deer. In my 27 years of deer hunting this is the first deer I've ever lost. Art was a super nice guy, I would highly recommend him for tracking services. I guess at some point in your hunting life the law of averages will catch up with you. I feel like I just grazed him low. I hope he lives for another day so maybe we can meet again. Just a lesson learned, should have taken the head on shot.😡😡😡

How long is the recovery for the guy that shot lucy???

dang! was it Shooter who shot her??? I know he shoots every dog he sees

Some people should not be allowed to tote a gun.

Ya'll jumpin' to "convulsions" about Lucy here, typical Aldeer though. Not what ya think.

Well tell us the facts then

Mike's story to tell if he wants to.

Easy killer... yall used the term "shrapnel"... shrapnel comes from bullets and bombs, not sticks and hooves. If you're gonna toss a "she took some lead" out there, you ought to at least be prepared to explain. Otherwise a "he went home" would suffice.

He went home

Can't disagree with this logic.

Mike is a friend & fellow tracker. He goes by the same rules that most of us trackers do. No bullet in the barrel until time to shoot. If my dog is shot while baying a live wounded deer, it will be me that shoots her. I will not shoot at a bayed deer if my dog is beyond it or even remotely close to it. I can usually call my dog out of the bay & then let the hunter shoot.Of course if she is on a tracking lead as usual, then I don't have to worry as much about some frustrated hunter shooting her. I recently refered a tracking call to another tracker in north Fla.& was glad I did because the hunter let his slung rifle accidentally fire about 10" from his ear. In the same area of north Fla. a couple of years ago a 36 year old tracker was killed & now a north Ala. tracker friend of mine is using his dog.

I posted a "he went home" thread on Monday.
