Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Al Dogs A Tracking Story……….

Well this morning’s track ended up being a team effort on the recovery……The deer was shot yesterday evening down through the top of the back with a bow and had about half the arrow broke off in him. Otis worked the track over and over trying to progress it but was struggling to follow it due to it just not putting out any blood. We finally split up and started grid searching and one of the hunters came up on him laying on the side of the creek…..Like the saying goes…..”It just be like that sometimes”….If you look you can see the entry hole just at the top of his shoulders. I've come to the conclusion over the years that a bow shot in that area is probably one of the toughest tracks to run for a dog.
