Looking back on this morning’s track I should have just trusted Otis from the start. The hunter said he heard Otis let out a bark right as we went hot which means he very likely saw the buck get up and take off. The situation just didn’t play out anything like I expected after giving the deer 24 hrs though. Hell, I was just hoping that the yotes didn’t have him eaten up when we got to him. That’s the damn thing about dealing with these marginally hit deer like this, it’s kind of like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolate…….. smile
