I know of a few deer this year that could have probably been recovered, but the shooters opted to not call. I think next year ya'll are going to be called more.
You just made a very important statement. There are tens of thousands of lost deer in Alabama each year and the majority of them are ending up like the ones you describe. The more those people start hearing about using tracking dogs though then the better for everyone. See you next year Idahomike.......
