See I have no issue whatsoever with this…..It’s the best chance most of these folks have to recover deer like these. There’s no need in trying to hold everyone to some imaginary standard that hunters had never reached to begin with.


Why should or why would you have an issue with it?

The guy called you. You will go and make an attempt at finding his deer. You get to take Otis and Shelby along and work them. You are doing something that you enjoy doing, your dogs are getting more experience, you are gaining knowledge and experience doing it, and you will get paid a fee for doing something that you enjoy doing.

I don't see a problem here.

Can someone help me out and point out the issue to me?

Oh, wait, we were talking about why folks call out tracking dogs right after the shot, nowadays, right?

Maybe they do so because it's their right, their privilege, their choice, their money, and it really ain't none of my business whether they lack tracking skills, are plain out lazy, or whatever.

Hope you and your teammates find the man's deer.

I'm looking forward to reading the story this evening. thumbup
