What kind of shot placement are you seeing on the deer you have been finding alive.

This week has been been mainly leg shots. Finding white hair at hit site and pieces of bone alone the way. Dog will run em as far as I'll let her depending on property lines and all.

A couple of guys from our club called Brent the other night. From the sounds of it, it was a very bad shot and not lethal to the deer. The deer wasn't recovered but The guys told me yesterday that they are super impressed with Brent and his dog. They were truly amazed at what they saw that night tracking the deer.

They said they will call Brent again, in the future if they ever need a dog. I will too.

That was a fun one batey! I asked them if you had to be bald to get in that club lol

Fixing to head out on a call. I'm seriously questioning how stoopid I am sometimes. It's friggin COLD outside.

As much as I would like to have a dog and track I don't envy it on days like this. Stay warm and good luck.

Good luck!...Hope you don't end up in any water.

You are pretty freaking stupid but that's besides the point.

No luck. I believe it was a single leg shot. Found a few pieces of bone along the way. Deer bedded down close to where hunter had parked his truck. He walked over and seen blood after the shot and was going to go home and give it time. When he was walking back, he jumped the buck accidently close to his vehicle. We tracked to that bed and then found where he left. She went on past last blood working slow and before I know, we're 400 yards from the bed. We found one more spot of blood and that's it. I restarted her and she ran exact same trail. We just couldn't catch up to him.

I think he's gone call another tracker and try again.

Enjoying the reads, Brent. You and Spark keep up the good work!

Well today has been another adventure. Got a call this morning for a track close to my house. Hunter shot buck and lost blood about 200 yards into the track. Deer run out of field and run up the edge and crossed the driveway into the place. They had lost blood just before the driveway. I started her at the hit site and she ran it the whole way. She got tripped up at last blood and I'm assuming it's bc of all the traffic. I took her on past there and across the driveway to where no one had been. She picked him up on the other side and she was gone. She bayed him at 132 yards away and he broke before I could get there. He ran about 400 yards and tried crossing a creek and he couldn't make it up the other side. Spark wasn't about to get off in there with him lol. To cold she says. I put one in him and then we fished him outta there.

Track #2. While I was on the other one I got a call from a guy I tracked for 2 weeks ago. He had trailed good blood for 200 yards and then it just quit. We get to the hit site and man at the blood. Ray Charles could follow this blood trail. And when it quit, it quit. I saw one drop in probably 600 yards. The deer had bedded up 3 times before we got to him. He wasn't pushed by the hunter, don't know why he kept moving. We tracked him to a big creek and I toted Spark across. Picked a drop of blood up on the other side, then a big pool of blood. As I was working my way up the creek bank, Spark bayed him 50 yards up the hill. Then he broke and ran. She chased this buck forever and finally bayed him in the same creek 600 yards down stream after he had crossed it 4 times. I couldn't keep up with her running thru the cutover. We found a little road that run beside the creek the last 100 yards to the deer. We went down the road to where she was and I see the buck in the creek. I pointed him out to the hunter and he finished him off. I checked the gps at the end of the line and she'd tracked this buck a total of 5.13 miles. I wish I could take a pic of the gps screen so yall could see the loops and back tracks the buck done. They are very smart when it comes to hiding and eluding.

Good job !!

Good job! I really enjoy the stories, thanks for writing them.

X2...

She's hell on them Brent. When I get my lemon gyp I may have to cross her to blood trailing also.

I'm wanting a male like yours Turkeyneck.
