What a night! Between keeping up with the election and spending 3hrs trying to sort out a track its been rough. The hunter said he shot the deer between the shoulder blades straight under him. We started the track went about 150 yards and ended up in the middle of a gravel road. We're standing their watching the dogs work and a yearling doe comes trotting up the road straight to us. She gets 20 yards away and just stops. Dogs freeze and just stare at her. She finally turns off to our left and walks off down a trail. The dogs work for alittle longer and take the same trail as the yearling doe. I think it confused them and they ended up coming back and working the road some more. They finally take the same trail as the little doe go 200 yards and jump the deer. Muzz stayed with him for a few hundred yards but then lost him. Stayed hung up for awhile but they finally figured it out and got us on some blood. This is all really thick privet and briars the whole time. Finally caught up to him when he had to start going uphill. The deer had 10 to 12 inches of arrow running just under the skin down his neck almost like a splint. Weirdest part was he had 4 deer standing around him blowing while the dogs had him bayed. Glad we pulled if off because I imagine that deer had a slow miserable death coming if it wasn't for us.
