Got him!

The first track this morning turned out to be a good ol� low gut shot. They had tracked him to the 250 yard bed and jumped him in the night before. He just went another 250 yards and bedded back down��and that�s where we found him. It pretty much a straight run to him. This was the young hunter�s first buck.

The second call was the boat ride track again. I�ve actually got a really good story on this one but I�m gonna wait to tell it until I get a free morning and can just sit down with a cup of coffee���.

The third track was a leg hit from yesterday evening. The hunter said the deer ran off with its right leg flopping. He had looked for it all morning and called us around 1:00. It took us a minute on this one to work through all of the searching but we eventually picked up on the trail and took the buck in a 600 yard loop where it finally crossed over the paved road. That�s where we had to call it off.

Another call just came in for tomorrow morning��.The hunter shot a big 7 point at around 4:30 this evening. The deer hunched up and ran off. The hunter got down to see if he could find blood and when he did the buck was standing in the edge of the woods. He shot at it again as it took off. He said the deer was running and falling�..running again and falling��.They�ve only found minimal blood but have found what they believe to be green gut matter. Not sure but may have jumped him while looking for blood....decided to back out. They think it�s a gut shot.

To be continued��

I snapped this pic for anyone who wishes that they had hogs to hunt on their land��.

Damnit son.

A new business model, trained hogs to do firebreaks

Got him!....Big massive joker.

Good deal. Hope you can find the next one too for David. It's on our place. Word on the street is they followed blood a good ways last night and this morning.

I really like reading theses stories. I�d love to raise a good tracking dog but I just don�t think I could give it he time it needs.

Unfortunately we didnt find Davids deer. Just recovered another really nice buck though on the last track of the day. Headed home. Will post pics later.

Post up the stories CNC, your public is waiting.

Fellas, I�m sorry but I�m gonna have to skip the stories tonight. Just tired and wanting a shower. I�ll add the pics the though. A couple highlights about the tracks�..the first buck field dressed 175 lbs. I�m assuming that�s well over 200 live weight. The second buck was shot this morning and buzzards had already found him. It doesn�t take buzzards a week to find them. They can find them immediately.

Another call for tomorrow morning. Deer shot with buckshot late this morning from 40 yards at steep quartering away angle. Already tracked 400 yards���Not optimistic about it.

Shout out to Harold along with Otis and Shelby! The big 7 was on the lease i hunt...i don't want to steal the story but was glad I was there for the recovery! If the deer is dead Otis will find them. He doesn't need my endorsement his work speaks for itself! Thanks again!

The cnc trio are making some hunters happy. keep the story's coming.

Your right about those buzzards CNC. I killed a buck this year, hiked out to my truck and to put my stuff up. 45 minutes later I was back to the buck to start dragging and 4 or 5 buzzards were already on my buck!! Those dang buzzards had already pecked one of his eye balls out!!!

Thanks man��That was a helluva buck! I�m guessing he was 215+ on the hoof.









Yep, they'll get on 'em quick. I tracked a bow shot last year that was bad weak but still alive when we found it and had three buzzards perched in a tree above it.
