Photo almost looks skewed but if you shot him, you know. Let us know and we want pics or it didn't happen.

He looks like a miniature horse with antlers. Hope you find him.

Rains got me nervous. Going to go give it another shot without the dog since we’ve still got blood. Rain ain't going to hinder a good dog. You ought to call Dano. Hope you find him.

Has he quit tracking? He is working on trying to finish his house up in Georgia but says he is heading this way soon to wrap up the season.

Make sure you check suspicious large oaks with doors on them. Also, a dachshund can check rabbit and fox holes. In all seriousness, good luck i can’t wait to see him.

If you were on good blood, why do you need a dog? must have turned out to only be a "little" bit of blood
I love the rut. The woods are like a bunch of roided up meatheads fighting over a girl.

If you were on good blood, why do you need a dog? If the 400 yard and “decent” blood part is accurate - probably the for the best, but I’d be nervous either way. Hope he’s found today - good luck!

If you were on good blood, why do you need a dog? If he's still trailing 'good' blood after 400 yards, there's a problem.

Sorry for the delay. Tracked until 1AM. No luck. Frustrating to say the least. I've spoken with a few of the dog trackers on here, all willing, but we've got a property line issue and I can't reach the owner of the property. The owner listed on ONx has passed away within the last year, so I have no idea where to start. Her name was Carol Lemon Roy if anyone has any affiliation with the area.
To rehash - shot around 8 am, buck had just been broadside and was now slightly quartered with its head down grazing. I did have to lean around a tree to shoot, but was steady for the shot. It punched him and he ran off crashing through woods. I suspected he was headed down. I waited a little bit, climbed down, packed up, etc. I walked to where I shot him, found no blood and was shocked. Went about 30 more yards and found a spec, then more, then more. When I say decent, I am saying enough to easily track at a brisk pace. Went back and looked at my GPS and I initially tracked somewhere between 80-100 yards. There were some chunks of meet, but no guts or odor. I pulled back out, waited five hours and went at it again. GPS showed second track was only about 200 yards way of the bird. Still blood where I eventually stopped the second track, but was going through a few places where it was only a few drops - the pine straw wasn't helping. Marked last blood and pulled out again. Buddy and I went back down around 9 last night, picked up for another couple hundred yards, but soon after we started blood was getting really thin, and it looked like he would throw a clot and bleed a little, then back to hardly any. Where we stopped it was down to a fleck every 4-6 ft., then we lost it all together. Spent 30 mins at last spot carefully looking and just couldn't find anymore. He was headed toward water and the thick(er) stuff. At one point, about 20 yards before the blood ran out, there was an 8-10" circle of a number of good blood drops, like he stopped and stood for a minute. The blood was thinner than the other as if it was coughed up or dripping, but he never laid down. Didn't smell of guts. Frustrating.

If he didn’t bed up after that distance he isn’t mortally wounded I would suspect

You said it. I really wanted to see that one! If ever you got a full body mount......small block was probably your deer for it! Hope he lived for another chance.

I ended up speaking with Carol’s daughter, very nice lady. She would have given us permission, and also said to let her know if I had any other incidents moving forward. Tracker and I agree with the amount of rainfall, and lack of blood, this unicorn is more than likely going to live so we are not going back. The positive in all of this is that I’ve met my neighbor and she will allow us to recover future kills. Sorry for the dull end. I’ll keep the game camera rolling and see if he pops back up, but I don’t see how he could afford to lose a leg. I’m just catching back up on this this morning but was going to say I could have gotten you in touch with the daughter as I did work for Ms Carroll and now do some for the daughters.
