Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow!!........or the neighbors non-tracking yard dog!!....... grin

Buck was shot today around 11:30 on a pretty hard quartering to angle from over 300 yards away with a 7 mag…….Hunter got down and tracked pretty good blood for about 300 yards before losing it in the pouring down rain……Went back after the rain with the neighbors yard dog but didn’t have any luck…..We got there around 2:30 just after another rain shower passed through and were able to methodically pick our way another 250 yards or so to where the deer was bedded down on a ridge top……He jumped and ran about 100 yards to the foot of the hill before he stopped and turned on the dogs and that’s where it ended….

Somehow or another he got an entrance and an exit wound on the same side of the deer………
