This was a deer I tracked four or five years ago. You probably wont ever see this too many times but the hunter backwhacked him twice with back to back shots from a 7 mag. He didn’t kill it and we didn’t find it though….His cousin killed it two weeks later in the same plot and this was the pic they sent me. We tracked it the morning after it had been backwhacked twice about the farthest I’ve ever tracked a backwhack….over 700 yards….I think the reason we were able to track this one farther than most is fairly evident by the two big wounds across the deer’s back….This was also a track where there was virtually no blood to be seen the whole way …….Was it because the deer wasn’t bleeding or because we just weren’t able to see the small amount it put out. If Otis was following an interdigital gland scent then why did it peter out at 700 yards…..Did the deer just stop secreting it?.....or did the deer just stop putting out enough blood to track?
