Another low gut shot. You can see the shot in the pic. Otis actually winded this deer and found it. We started out working the trail like normal but Otis was struggling to work his way through the search area. His motivation was there and he was working the hell out of it….but after 20-25 minutes I decided to see if I could help him out by circling the area. We were making a second pass about 100 yards out past the search area when I saw Otis’s head start bobbing in the wind and he took off across the creek we were coming up. As I crossed the creek and looked into the cane thicket on the other I side, I saw what had gotten his nose’s attention.

I am the hunter that CNC was referring to in regards to a "gut shot" 24 hour buck recovery. Anyway....my shot on this buck was a little too far back and the bullet tore thru the bucks stomach. It was a 200 yard shot and when I went to the location of where the buck was at (powerline) when I shot....there was no blood to be found. However...there was a significant amount of stomach contents spilled on the ground....I followed this for about 20 yards (edge of power line)and decided that my best bet would be to call a tracker.
Texted CNC and he stated that we should give the buck some time...so we arranged to meet up the next morning to try to find him.
While waiting on CNC to arrive....I went to the same powerline to look for buzzards and to just pass some time as I was a bit nervous about finding the buck. As I am looking down the powerline...I see a small 8 point cross in almost the exact spot where I shot the other buck. This worried me as I wasn't sure if Otis would track the recently crossed buck or the one that was gut shot.
Anyway....CNC arrived and I told him the details of all that had gone on....CNC was confidant that he could get Otis working the correct track. Otis suited up in his tracking collar and started his work. Things looked promising early but I could tell that CNC was thinking that possibly Otis had taken the more recent track rather than the one we wanted.
We went back to the location where we began and CNC restarted Otis on the track. This time Otis went left rather than right and not very long after that.... we started to find blood and other indications that OTIS was dead on with the correct track. After just a few minutes.....CNC looked at me and stated that OTIS was no longer moving. We went to her location and found OTIS standing over the buck with his tail wagging like crazy. OTIS had worked the track beautifully and we were able to recover this animal after 24 hours. Thankfully....temps were below freezing that night and the coyotes had not found the buck.
Congrats and job well done to OTIS and CNC for this recovery. Very grateful to have been able to recover this buck. Thank you CNC!!! Good stuff...............congrats to all

Here’s a good episode of Mossy Oaks Gamekeepers on training tracking dogs. The tracking part is broken up into segments and played a little bit at a time as the show progresses.... so you’ll either have to watch the segments on the other topics or use the slider on the play bar to skip through them. It won't let me link you straight to the video but its episodes 3 & 4. Its a two parter. Look on the bottom right of the screen for your links. http://www.mossyoak.com/our-obsession/video-on-demand/gamekeepers

Thanks folks..... TNC, I really enjoyed getting to meet JJ last year. I hope after the national convention is over, you all consider having another event next year like the one I attended. JJ is one of those guys I could sit around and talk "shop" with all day. He reminded me a lot of BSK. Yea,JJ and Rosie are the best,he is my tracking partner,I cover tracks for him and he covers for me,we are also friends socially,our women are friends also.. JJ just got a new DD pup,by the sounds of things he is going to be good,I enjoy going to DD certifing events with him,I end up being a bunny brusher, He is a wealth of knowledge.when it comes to training dogs,he has some kind of special gift with dogs.

Good job Otis! I've tried keeping up with this thread, but sometimes due to work or kids I might have missed a post. I don't remember you ever posting up a successful "bayed up" story. Was this his first 2? Looks like he's really turning it on now!
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

Good job Otis! I've tried keeping up with this thread, but sometimes due to work or kids I might have missed a post. I don't remember you ever posting up a successful "bayed up" story. Was this his first 2? Looks like he's really turning it on now! Thanks!  Yep…..First two successful bays back to back. We’ve had a few other live deer this year but none we could bay up. This first one of the day had been hit low in the gut as well as being hit low in the back leg. He didn’t have much chance to get away. I saw him jump up in front of Otis and when he did….Otis ran around in front of the deer and cut him off. The deer stopped to turn back around and Otis circled back with it....about like a cuttin horse or something. The deer just locked down and froze. I called Otis back off the deer and the hunter missed from 40-50 yards. The deer bounced off but you could tell it was pretty hurt. I had Otis leashed so I told them lets just ease over the hill where the deer ran and see if its just standing there. Sure enough, it had just went over the rise in some open hardwoods and laid down. The hunter finished it off. The second one was a low gut shot. It was 4-5 hrs after the shot but the deer was still alive. We tracked it out to around 800 yards when I heard Otis cut loose. The deer was bedded up in a tree top. I’m not sure what happened but from the sounds of Otis’s barking, he got in there too close on bay before we got to him. I think the deer tried to charge him a little cause his yelp went from aggressive to sounding more like something tried to get him. I wasn’t but 60-70 yards away by this time but I immediately toned him to try and get him back off the deer. He was coming back to me as I approached the small thicket where he had the deer bayed. I told the hunter to keep his eyes peeled and lets ease on up. The deer broke before we seen it and went over a little rise again similar to the first deer. You could tell this deer was pretty hurt as well. We slowly stalked for about a hundred yards behind where we saw the deer run. I kept Otis really close this time but watched him so he could guide us to the deer. I spotted it laying down again in those thinned pines you see in the pic about 60 yards ahead of us and the hunter was able to get propped and finish him off.

Otis has a pretty intense bark when he’s after a live deer that sounds like an ol’ high pitched beagle…except it’s more of a “Chop!.. Chop!.. Chop!..” He's usually working within 100-150 yards of me at most, so it gets exciting quick when he cuts loose barking.
