I forgot to add something about yesterday’s track after all the high and lows of the day. The hunter had a cool arse scope he was using…..first one I’d ever seen like this. It had a button you could push with your left thumb as you aimed that would range the target for you and then calculate the hold over. The crosshairs had little dots running along it and it would light up the dot you needed to hold on. It even calculated windage and gave a read out beside the yardage. He shot the buck from 365 yards out of a .300 short mag.

Too bad it didn't help him.

Yeah for real. He almost pulled it off but I think he just shot too low.

I put an extra sling on my 30-30 so I can carry it backpack style. That seems to be way more comfortable than trying to carry it over one shoulder or behind my back with only one sling across my chest. The barrel of the 30-30 sticks up about the same height as my head though, which is a little taller than I’d like. The 10 mm carbine should be a good bit shorter and tote just right. I think I’ll call the gun store tomorrow just to check on it.

Call just came in for tomorrow morning……….

Hunter shot buck crossing a powerline this evening. The deer ran 30 yards and fell down after the shot. He got up and took off again. They went to track him and jumped him up not far from the hit site. They’re not finding a whole lot of blood and can't find the deer so they backed out. This sounds like it could be a gut shot possibly but not 100% sure. I know a little rain doesn’t hurt but I’m a little concerned about the weather in the morning. We’ll just have to see what happens. If he’s gut hit and they're jumping him then he needs to be given time.

To be continued……..

A couple of heavy lines of rain just moved through the area. It'll be interesting to see how this track goes this morning.

Well I’m a firm believer now in a dog being able to track after the rain…….because that is by far the heaviest rain we’ve had fall on a track and it was like it didn’t even matter. Just how hard was it raining you ask????

That’s pretty damn hard……… grin

Otis took us about 400 yards past where they jumped the deer last night where he got him up out of its bed and immediately bayed it up. The only problem was that the deer was just inside of some little pines that were extremely thick. I eased in to the bay and could see Otis but I couldn’t see any part of the deer. I started circling the bay to try and spot the deer but just couldn’t see it. Finally I spotted it head looking at me and that’s about the time it broke bay. I had told the hunter stop as I was easing in to the bay and he said he saw the deer cross the road as it broke. He said it looked messed up in the front end. I figger it was a front leg hit. We lit out after the deer and Otis got him bayed up again up ahead of me. He was pushing this one as hard as I’ve seen him push a deer. Before I could even catch up though, the buck broke again. He made a bee line this time for the neighbors property and that’s where we had to call it off. That sucks....but it is what it is.

The double slings worked like a charm to carry my rifle and it felt good to have my old gun in my hands again. I may be able to just roll with my old 30-30 for a bay gun. This one would have been screwed if he would have just bayed up in a different spot. Oh well.... on to the next one……………. smile

Question, who reports the deer on their license if it was alive and well with a leg wound, but you shoot it with the bay gun?

I hear what you’re saying but what am I supposed to do about it? I have no idea when I go on a track what I’m for sure dealing with until it unfolds. When I’m easing into a bay situation, I have no idea if the deer is barely alive on the ground or standing up with his leg blown off. Most of these deer are wounded to the point that they’re likely gonna die some slow death or be taken out by yotes anyways. We trackers are on salvage missions. What would have me do if it were your deer…..let him go? smile

I agree with you. You gotta shoot. I was just thinking about it.
