Neither dog really took track from the start. Which is why I think it was dog. But idk


The deer you shot may have not bedded up for 500-1000+ yards somewhere. Unless you are there right after the shot then the dog needs a blood trail to follow to where he went. Usually on grazed tracks the dog will take it anywhere from 50-200 yards past where the hunters lost blood and then lose it as well….It just varies from track to track depending on the severity of the wound.
