If that was meant for me, I agree with you. That was aimed at the Karens. I don't understand it either. Always gotta have a few cry babies hunting something to cry about. Yep……I’m just surprised to see some of Aldeer’s own be the ones that are doing the most crying.

Harold I really think you just over analyze everything anyone says on here. Just cause someone has a different opinion or way of doing things doesnt make them wrong and it doesnt make you wrong for doing it or seeing your way.. Look I've sent you tracks and you've sent me tracks I will continue to do that and hope you do the same. You've got great dogs that find a slug of deer but honestly sometimes being quiet and not so analytical is best. Hell ask lane kiffen about analytics.
Exactly ^^^^^ That I’m always right and your always wrong crap is ridiculous

I think it says alot that yall say you see some of these ridiculous shots fairly often. Looks like some folks need to give the shootin house a break and get a little better with their weapon. I dont blame anyone a bit for tryin to recover a dying animal. What I dont understand is taking a terrible shot, or hunting with a rifle or bow that is that bad off. Have you ever been to a public shooting range? There are lots of individuals that have no business pulling the trigger on an animal. I’m amazed at the number of people I’ve heard of that got a new scope boresighted at a sporting goods place and go hunting with it without shooting it. Or they shoot it at a pie plate at 25 yards and it’s on

I hear you….there is some truth to that I don’t disagree. …..But no matter how much everyone practices there’s a large portion of these shots that are just a natural part of hunting. For every 100 deer we kill there will be a certain % that get marginally hit and they will stem from a variety of reasons from lack of practice….to bad shot angles….. to buck fever…..to grown men using .243’s….to just the fact that “chit happens”, etc…etc…. . Whether that % is 5% or 20% though is a difference of there being 10,000 wounded deer or 40,000 when you’re talking about killing a total of 200K annually….. Sure, we can improve that number through better shooting skills, taking better shots, etc……but we’ll still have marginally hit deer to try and salvage in the thousands. Tracking dogs help to further reduce this number to the lowest amount possible. Isnt that the intent of the law that talks about doing everything to recover the deer? To reduce waste? Well, that's what is occurring at the end of the day.....reducing waste.

Going back to the post a month or so ago, i said if tracking involves a gun, it’s hunting. If a guns involved to finish the animal, it’s hunting. Right or wrong, good or bad, like it, don’t like it. Now what to do with a wounded animal ? Idk

…..to grown men using .243’s…. Alright Harold, you done gone to meddling now. Ain't nothing wrong with a .243 for sure. Both my daughters shoot .243 caliber rifles and ain't neither one of them ever lost a deer nor had to call for a tracking dog. Carry on with yer analyzing and leave our .243's outa this conversation.

Saw a post on Facebook earlier about a deer shot about two inches above the hoof. They had a tracker come out with two hounds run the deer over a mile bay it in a creek and finally finish it off. It was almost a completely superficial wound. At what point are you just running a deer with dogs? Those situations just don't sit right with me. Before anyone starts hollering about coyotes getting it yeah thats a possibility but I've also seen deer missing part of a leg that have healed up and they were doing fine I'm guessing you have never missed a deer or wounded 1?

I'll repeat what I said earlier. IF the leg is shot low enough and the leg is broken the deer WILL put the leg down at some point. IF dirt gets in the wound the deer is dead. Not today or tomorrow but infection will killl that deer. Every damn time. I have seen deer get a small puncture wound, like a nail, get infected and swell up. Infection will lead to sepsis and death. Good info right here.^

…..to grown men using .243’s
That’s nonsense! Well dang. Maybe one day I’ll grow up 😀 Just to be clear, it’s nonsense to blame the need for a tracking dog on a small caliber. I too will not grow up! I love my .243

I’ll say this…….There’s some truth to both sides of the .243 argument. Folks post a lot of pics where things go right but we get called to track…..”When .243’s go wrong…..” When a 275 lb grown man is calling me out to track that hard quartering away or quartering to shot…..or maybe the one he tried to put a Texas heart shot on……I have to just pause and give it a silent “WTH man” when he tells me he was using a .243……..Why man!?!?......Why!!!!.......

wounds, cuts, broken bones in the body or upper legs will usually heal on their own. In my experience with foot, and very low legs wounds with broken bones is that those wounds are nearly 100% fatal in a few weeks.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I’ve killed several 3 legged deer over the years. For what it’s worth. That were healed over. Deer are tough as Hell.
