I'm looking forward to reading the thread this year. Otis really impressed me at the seminar this past spring, not only is he a good looking dog, he's smart and seems to have a good personality.

I'm looking forward to reading the thread this year. Otis really impressed me at the seminar this past spring, not only is he a good looking dog, he's smart and seems to have a good personality. Thanks man..I appreciate that. Ive been really pleased with Otis. This is gonna be his 4th tracking season coming up and Im pretty excited about it. Hes a much more mature dog now and he has the confidence of an older dog. I have a lot of confidence in him now too. The only unknown now is how Shelby is gonna perform and if she will give him any issues when I start running her with him. Im just gonna run the first couple with Otis alone to get the rust knocked off and then bring in Shelby on the 3rd or 4th track. I may just keep her on lead for a few tracks and then let her run off lead with Otis. Well, I guess we might as well go ahead and make it official.. Welcome to the 2017-18 edition of The Tales of Otis and Shelby Lou.

Wooo-Hooo! Otis and Shelby are back!  Edit: It's still not too late to make Shelby a duck dog if you want me to.

Good grief some one liver shoot a deer already! It's gonna be slow with this heat. I can tell from LFFT thread that the deer just ain't moving. The good hunting days will be next week when no one is in the woods.  Maybe folks will have better luck this afternoon. I bet a lot of folks didn't even go.

Wooo! Hoooo!!!....First call of the season just came in. A lady shot her first buck with a bow yesterday afternoon. She was shook up and didnt see where it hit but got a pass through with good blood on the arrow. They tracked it about 100 yards and ran out of blood..it eventually got dark and they decided to back out. Husband thinks it may be a liver shot. Supposed to meet her in a couple hours..To be continued.

Good news and bad news. The good news is that Otis hit the ground ready to go like we had never taken a day off. Hes a tracking dog now and me and him have become a good team. That may be a simple statement but the trackers will understand what I mean. The bad news is that the hunter must have hit the deer really high. That's all I can figure by looking at the evidence. Otis took the track 2.2 miles in a big circle through some semi-open hardwoods without any issues...... but it was apparent after a while that the deer just wasnt hit like we had hoped. We finally came upon a paved road and I called it off. The pic below is where I think the deer was most likely hit. The arrow had dark blood on it but there was very, very little on the ground.

Gotta love the cold weather moving in.Next call up. Not much to go on with this one really.Deer was slightly quartering away at 20 yards. Hunter heard a thwap and thinks he might have hit him high and back but isnt really sure it happened so fast in dim light. Shot with a fixed blade Muzzy. He cant find the arrow and has tracked ok blood for 60 yards into a swamp.cant find anymore after that. Decided to back out instead of going in too deep. Im guessing hes buried the arrow up in the deer with a high entry and no exit..but thats just guessing. It could be shot in the arse for all we really know. To be continued.
