Outstanding

Any chasen...mines not to the first week in Dec but it's a odd year, and Navs been watching those Squirrels again

Hope the youngster got a Toad..You sitting till 10 right

Goodluck to you and congrats on the doe.

Uhhhh...no

Just got a text that a lady hunter has an arrow in sombrero. (That's the 8 pointer I posted a pic of from Thursday night). Can't wait to see it!!

As far as the chasen goes, not yet. Another week or two and it will be going full bore. Little ones are starting to pester them and the bucks are starting to dislike their running buddies, but they aren't there yet.

Good for her felt nice this Mng lucky dog!

Yep...but this afternoon is going to be brutal

Well...looks like recovery is going to be one for two. Young boy shot a beautiful cull crabclaw. After 600+ yards of tracking, we finally recovered the deer. He is all smiles!!!

The lady that shot the buck with her bow isn't as happy. Unfortunately, we can't find a drop of blood to give direction and she is in some thick brush. We have been at it for 3 hours and there are 7 of us searching, still no sign. She is positive she hit it. We are going to give it just a little longer then call it done.

I will have pics up later.

Buzzards still in y'all's neck of the woods amigo

Congrats to the young man and hope she finds him...you and your pops know all the ends and outs and tricks, if he can be found y'all will find him..Good Luck!!

Yep. Still have a few around. Will make a couple of rounds tomorrow and see if we can flush them. True trophy for this wonderful lady and I know she is sick about the results so far. We did all we could and have lost the meat. If we could salvage the head, it would at least be something. She has let this deer walk in the past to let it grow, along with the rest of us, so it was important to her and she had personal history with the deer. Not sure about to some, but that means something to me. Damn shame though.

Call in a dog, it still is not to late.

How can the dog pinpoint the trail without blood? How long is too long in this heat for the dog?

A dog does not follow the trail exactly like you or I would by sight. The trail snakes in and out of brush and along. The dog goes more straightline so to speak and keeps crossing the trail and track. Soon he starts to associate that track with the blood. (as told to me by Little Roy Hindes). I have hit a deer before dark on a dark of the moon night, called him. He said lets wait till daylight and go. He got their dumped out Jethro and a young trainer dog. Took them a few minutes to sort out the cold trail with only a few spots of blood. Once they got on it they started the direction the deer ran. 3/4 of mile later they jumped the wounded buck but could not hold him or bay. Little Roy said immediately the buck is not hit bad enough to be crippled or die from the wound. I saw the buck a month or so later. He has lost some weight but lived since the wound hit no bones or nothing vital, just flesh.

That's way Olney in Sonora works ..
May be worth the cash ...

Sucks Man...so sorry for her

Make the call!!! What do you have to lose

He already has, I gave him the number a couple of hours ago now. Matt said with this heat and no blood or arrow it was to iffy in this heatt on the dogs.

Damnt... Matts damn good, his word is gospel.

As always late to the party!!!!

Anyone that hunts in the three county area needs to write his number on the door of your camper!!

Yep he has a great dog and knows deer.

Sounded like a great fella. Funny, one of you two have me his number before as a "just in case". I searched it when STX told me and when I dialed, it is saved on my phone. We are going to post it at camp somewhere for the others.

Just with absolutely no blood and the amount of time, not sure it was a truly viable option. The help is greatly appreciated though

Would it help at all if I made a Cocktail and absorbed this

Is it to soon to ask you and I's biggest debate...

Please never wear a "Sleeve" when Bow Hunting

Honestly so sorry for the Ladies loss man...maybe if someone's staying till sun or alert the rancher and watch them buzzards..maybe it's just a donated Cape away from a Trophy Amigo..
