I'd waited on CNC for two reasons. One, he's got a helluva dog and can find deer and two, I want to see the story of the track! And for me, unless I had a test, I'd miss class til the afternoon. Just sayin'. Hope he finds the deer! Keep us posted1

I bet he called Idaho Mike.

Oh hey CNC I did end up talking to Donnie when I was stuck when you called the other day. He did offer to come help. Also if you're ever in hurtsboro are one Saturday wanna go over to the little dinner and grab lunch?

I don�t ever have any issues knowing it�s him when he calls �..reminds me of Sam Elliot. I eat at the diner down there all the time during deer season. They�ve got some good food. We�ll definitely hook up for lunch one Sat.

Used to eat at that diner all the time during deer season years ago. That little town got hit hard when the economy took a dump. For a little while there,id heard it was pretty dangerous after dark. Heard some crazy stories from the owner of that grocery store there. He used to process deer at one time,and did a pretty decent job of it. That guy with the raspy voice still run that diner? He was always real nice to me and my Pa.

Sorry for the side track-

Hope your buddy finds his buck!!

We want Otis! We want Otis! We want Otis!

Hey don't blame me...I did all I can do to try and get CNC out there, but it's his deer, his land, and his call...Absolutely, bamaeyedoc I'm skipping all my classes in the am to help him! lol shot was broadside and found the back of the arrow piece as well as a clean piece of fat with blood smeared around the tree it ran into. He said the deer ran off and kept bouncing its back end up like a fawn would do through the thick grass and said the blood wasn't definitive of the type of hit. Also, he mentioned he didn't hit it above the spine, just high and back so I'm thinking guts...also, it's not IdahoMike doing the track

Hopefully it's a "real tracking dog" and not just a dog. My black lab is a jam up bird dog with a good nose and I've taken her to recover deer before on good blood trails just to see how she'd do. She can find them ok on easy 50-100 yd tracks but I wouldn't trust her on a big buck. There's a big diff in a real, well trained, tracking dog and simply a dog that will follow an easy track. I hope y'all recover him.

Yep, you need a deer tracking dog with some experience...not just some guys DOG.

An experienced dog at recovering wounded deer.

Good luck and post em up when you find him. Great job leaving him there and not pushing him!

Yeah...guys chargin 100$ fee for comin out there and apparently he is the real deal...the dog can bay as well...Before I joined this sight, I never would have thought about calling a tracking dog, but I appreciate everyone's input over the years and have learned a bunch about it all...I honestly give CNC a lot of that credit with a lot of that...I'll let yall know in the am how it goes boys!

Just got caught up on this thread. I hope they find him. Will be checking back later.

Hurtsboro must have a lot of Aldeer patrons at the grill. Another post for another day.

Don't sweat it man....it's all good. Thanks for trying. I hope y'all are able to recover him this morning. He likely won't be too far. Good luck!

Good luck this morning.

hoping to see a good report later today ...
