Chris, out of around 1000 tracks, I have had the wrong deer shot twice. One at night and one in daylight. Both times it was because the hunter did not give an accurate description of the deer we were after. Both times there was a huge difference in the size of the deer we shot and the deer we eventually found. It is rare but it can happen and no one is proud of it. Especially the warden.
Sounds like those two were bigger than the deer being tracked? Worse mistakes have been made ha.
