Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Al Dogs Tracking Stories 2024-25

I thought it was tracking stories not “crying about NOT tracking stories”

A lot of people just got rain on their food plots within the last week and are like me and have not gone hunting yet. I have not been even once this year, which is abnormal. I get to hunt some great places in Macon and Bullock that seem to be some of your best areas. If I'm like that, how many other hunters are the same. It's not chicken little. People just haven't hunted yet and the weather has sucked so far. Calm down and reevaluate at the end of the season.

If any of yall know Wendell the game warden in Limestone county tell him John said to go f himself. Made me quit tracking a deer for a 8 year old boy. The deer is hurt bad but he's a idiot and said I was hunting deer not tracking. The deer will die. No tickets or laws broken just a a**hole game warden letting a kids first big buck go. He lives close by so I really question if he wasn't after the same deer. Either way he's a douche bag in my book.

That sucks......Did y'all just run across him in the middle of the track?.........I've checked two non-lethal bow shots yesterday and today....

The neighbor we needed permission from was friends with the warden. He wanted us to come to his house and talk to him first before we tracked on his land which is fine. Problem was he had green jeans waiting on us. Was really just a setup for a butt chewing. I've tracked and bayed deer for game wardens. Called a Madison County warden and told him what was said and even he agreed it was stupid. Wendel the warden said he didn't care how bad the deer was hurt if he isn't dead we're hunting and he's putting a stop to it.

Sounds like the neighbor was jealous and is probably out there right now looking for it.

Exactly what I thought

Recovered a nice buck for a twelve year boy’s first deer……He put a pretty good shot on it with a .308 but it just didn’t bleed any more than a couple small specks at the hit site. They were hunting in the middle of an extremely thick stand of little pines so after not being able to track it they just backed out and called in the dogs instead of gridding.

Lost a gut shot to the Alabama River this morning.......He sleeps with the fishes.

Ruby and Otis teamed up to find a pretty good one this evening…..Bow shot with the deer quartering to…..Ended up going around 425 yards……..

Awesome track, congratulations

Nice deer there! Wish I’d had yall Saturday to find little mans mini doe! Keep up the good work

I got my butt whooped by a bow shot deer in Huntsville lastnight. We crawled around for over an hour in privet and briars just to jump him up and get smoked. Pretty confident he was hit high behind the shoulder.

Went and checked bow shot for a hunter that was shot yesterday evening so it was roughly 23 hrs old……The hunter had basically shot it high through the top of the back with it less than 10 yards from his stand with the arrow staying in the deer…..We tracked him out to the 750 yard mark where we jumped him….Pretty sure he was still good and lively…..I let the dogs run him a couple hundred yards to the property line before we had to call it but he never even checked up…….

On the way back I did have this interesting encounter with a wild pig……He was standing in the middle of the dirt road and wasn’t a bit scared of me and the truck……

He was looking at that sticker on the front of your truck.



Thanks for your work.

I woulda never checked up… but if’n I did and it was gonna temped me like that… bang

I figured I'd tear something up for sure if I did that...... so I thought better of it.
