Call just came in for tomorrow morning. Looks like were going on another boat ride. Sum bitch its gonna be cold���  Hunter shot what he says is a true monster with a crossbow following some does at around 11:00 this morning. He said at first he thought he had missed because the deer didn�t really react to the shot like it had been hit. He said it just kept following behind the does. However, when he got down and retrieved his arrow�.he found it covered in blood. He tracked it for 100-150 yards before it petered out and he lost the track��.. It�s really anyone�s guess as to where this deer is hit. Of course the hunter thinks it�s a lung hit�. but don�t they all. We�ll see what happens. It�s gonna be tomorrow morning before I track it. I think I'm gonna let the sun get up a little higher on this one and see if it helps the tracking conditions���..

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Thanks fellas!....I kinda want to be optimistic about this one but there's just a lot of unknowns. It could be dang near any kind of hit at this point. Hopefully the hunter didn't bump him while tracking and he'll just lay down and die if he's hit hard.

Just curious as to all these boat rides your going on. Are these folks that have land along the river that just better access it by boat? Or folks hunting public land?

Well, it looks like the boat ride has been called off��
Just after dark, I decided to call the hunter back just make sure we were still meeting in the morning before any more calls come in from the afternoon hunt. I didn�t get an answer. I sent a text and received a message back saying they had already gone back out there with another tracker and didn�t have any luck. A few minutes later the hunter calls me back and tells me that the other dog wasn�t able to track it. He wanted to know if my dog could still go in and track it after the other dog had been on it. Otis probably could but I told him I didn�t think so just for the principle of it. It�s all good but it did kinda irritate me a little that he scheduled me to meet him then just hung up the phone and called someone else without calling me back. I could have had another call come in.
��..which I just did���
Another call just came in for tomorrow morning. A landowner that I�ve tracked for several times in the past said his grandson had shot a pretty good buck this evening. He didn�t give a whole lot of details other than they had followed blood for a good little ways and were having trouble following it any further. He told the guys who were looking to just back out and bring in the dogs in the morning. I�ll find out more details of what happened in the morning��
To be continued���

Dangit at the people that shoot and need a dog...and you're only one tracker in one part of the state. Good thing y'all are doing for folks.
Tuned in for tomorrow.

I noticed the corn as well which leads me to my next question...and one you may not answer but thought I'd ask...
How often does the hunter take you to the "hit site" and it's over a pile of corn.
+\- 50%?

+\- 50%? I bet there are a whole bunch of calls that never get made because the hunter doesn�t want to show anyone that they shot one over a pile of corn
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!
