A tracking dog is not an option. I'm going back into the woods in a little bit after giving him some more time.

The blood trail is light.


Wow!

Just wondering, why is a tracking dog not an option?

Welp, looks like no deer seen on my last sit. About to get down and scout out a new tree for next year and head home, real life is calling. Wish I could stay all day. Seen an owl, hawks, and I'm currently looking at more woodpeckers than I can count, but no deer.

Killed half as many as last year even with more effort put into summer plots, fall plots and stand locations. I hope for a turn around next year.

Good luck on your last day zone 1 folks and congrats to the killers today.

Moody, this property is tightly enforced and technically, hunting with a dog is prohibited in the county I'm hunting.

Trust me it is not an option.

Feeding after getting shot isn't a good sign, however, I would never give up on a blood trail. I'd give him a few hours. Hopefully he will lie down and take a permanent nap. They love to die in the thickest crap possible

Thanks Aucubfan. I'm with you. I definately won't give up on him. I just hope he stayed close by.

I've been told it's not an option by the local GW this morning.

Another morning of 0. Been at least a week and a half since any type of sign on our property. Don't understand but all we can do is keep at it.

Is tracking a wounded deer with a dog considered dog hunting? If so I'm guilty of dog hunting out of dog deer season and hunting in a closed area. I think the gw that told you that is a retard that has no freaking common sense.


Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

Turkey_neck, in the context of my story, yes you would be dog hunting if you expect to come across a live deer.

Guys, the dog discussion is not really relevant to my question. Do you think it was a fatal shot?

No one on here or yourself will ever know until you locate the deer.

Slugger as long as you got good blood I would definitely keep looking,but a deer stopping to feed after being shot is not a good sign. As a matter of fact I don't think I have ever heard of that.....but good luck hope you find him smile

Just settled in for my last hunt of the year. Setting on a food plot in a cutover. This area hasn't been hunted in about 3 weeks so hopefully something will move on in. As I type this there is a good gobbler pecking around in the plot. His beard is not long but thick as all get out.
