Went out and tracked a backwhack last night for some folks I’ve tracked for quite a bit in the past……I tried to talk them out of it because EVERYTHING about the situation screamed back whack from the reaction of the deer laying there for a while and then running off as the hunter approached……to black tipped hair and meat being found at the hit site……We jumped him out of the bed about 250 yards from the hit site and he never checked up……Blood was just an occasional drop here and there…..
I get it though…..I know folks just want to check and be sure…..There’s almost no talking anyone out of it…..There hunter is always like….”I don’t know man, it looked like a good shot…..he was hurt bad” ……(Insert explanation of spinal shock….watch it have zero effect on hunter’s opinion)….
