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.
