Zorro found his third deer yesterday. It was a doe.... ran 350 yards. Shot with a crossbow, the bolt was covered in stomach material. The hunter bumped it when he got down, but he didn't know that. (We found the bed only about 60 yards from the hit site. No visible blood, but it must have been leaking something, because he found it within 15 minutes. I'm having a ball watching him work and learning to read him. He is so excited we I tell him "Find It, Zorro, Find it!" he loves it!

Found another one last night… gut shot doe. 4 for 4 so far!

Zorro got his 4th deer last night. He and his best buddy, RoRo tracked a gutshot doe about 800 yards. We didn't start till 10:30... took us 2 hours. I got back home to Gulf Breeze at 2:30... long night, but a great lesson and training track for a dog who turns 11 months old tomorrow.

Looks like you are having a big time, keep up the good work. See you around the Breeze Jack.

Keep us informed on yours and Zorro's exploits. This is a really cool thread.

Thanks BPI and Ace! I will post pics of our next adventure as soon as it happens!

Enjoying this thread!! Keep it up

cool dog, thanks for the pics/stories

Well, Zorro found two deer this week. Both were short tracks, but good for his confidence and good for me to learn to read him. The first was a doe shot in the evening and the second was his first rack buck that my daughter shot. The buck was was a weird one with 5 pts on one side and 2 on the other. It had an underbite and short nose... odd, but great hunt for my daughter who is home from college in South Florida.
