Thanks man….I appreciate it! thumbup

Well we confirmed that the first track was just another backslap. The deer will most likely live and be fine. I don’t blame someone for just wanting to make sure though…….

While I was there I got another call from a hunter who had shot a buck at first light this morning and swore up and down that he had smoked the deer. The blood trail had just ran out on him and he couldn’t find it. We don’t get many tracks like this one but the hunter was telling the truth this time. He had hit the deer hard but maybe just a fudge back. Just enough to allow the deer to run 100-150 yards and pile up in a briar patch with his belly down. The hunter said he had walked circles all around the deer and had probably been within 10-15 yards of him. You could tell he was a little embarrassed about it but I told him not to sweat it…..chit happens.
