There wasn’t a whole lot to this track. The deer had just run another 250 yards or so after being jumped and bedded back up. It made for a pretty simple find.
Unfortunately, the yotes beat us to this one. I hate it but it’s just part of it. It’s a tough situation when asking the question “what’s the right thing to do”?. You know good and well going into it that you’re likely dealing with a live leg wound. Do you go out there at night with dogs and lights in order to finish him off and “save the meat”….or do you wait and roll the dice on yotes eating him up? …. It might not be as pretty but for a number of reasons, I choose to wait.
Here’s the entry hole. It looked like he had probably broke down both legs and maybe clipped the bottom of the brisket. Another inch or two lower though could have really changed the situation.
