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

Paw paw was sitting with his grandson this morning when their target buck walked out around 8:00……Junior hit a little low on a quartering to angle…..They said his chest hit the ground and then he took off…..They spent the next 3 hrs tracking him roughly 600 yards before running out of blood…..

We got on the track around 3:00 this afternoon and jumped him about 300 yards past where they lost blood……He ran about 250 yards and then laid down on his belly in a briar thicket and let the dogs run past him…..About the time I was catching up to them they had turned around and started circling the briar patch….He never even tried to get up after that…..I think he was pretty much done for at that point…….



Here's the entry……….



…….passing through the leg and into body cavity………



……and out the bottom of his belly……



Here’s the briar thicket he was trying to hide in…..I should have took a pic before I dragged him out….He was belly down in that little depression where you see the blood spot….You would have walked right by him had it not been for the dogs pointing him……All I could see was his hind end sticking out….Dang things act like rabbits sometimes…….
