I've had some cool tracks tis year if you guys would like I could tell about a few?
That buck in gordo was a little interesting but pretty much routine, it was number 98 on the tail gate this season,,guy called said he had shot a cull buck this morning but had no blood no hair nothing just some scuffed up leaves,,I'm thinking.do I want to drive a hour and a half for a missed shot,I really didn't but the guy was so adamant that he hit it I said heck on it and was on my way,two hours later me, Lucy,and the hunter were all crambed up on a four wheeler intended for one person.going down a rough trail we about rolled over several times.finally we arrived at the hit site,and just as the guy said no blood no hair just scuffed up leaves I said to myself man all this way for a miss,about that time I though hey weres Lucy,I looked up just in time to see her disappear over the hill in front of us going at a pretty good clip,I said humm we better get going by the time we creasted the hill the GPS said she was 200 yards out and cooking so we took off at a pretty good clip ourselves,but she keeped spreading the distance between us,there were a bunch of draws between her and us just as we creasted one there. Was another one in front of us,now she was 400 yrds away and we weren't gaining on her,finally off in the distance I could hear her baying,so we really took off,I looked at the GPS and could see she was circling the buck over and over again,finally we snuck in to the mortally wounded buck and the hunter dispatched him,so much for my theory that he had missed.the buck was on his last legs and would have succumbed pretty soon,he was hit in the brisket, we could see the bucks heart beating through the wound.only problem now was how to get him out of there he was rt at 1 mile away from were he had been hit,good thing he had permission to tresspass because we were on his neighbors,but there were no roads,we had to leave the deer,he went back in with help later and retrived the buck,we followed Lucy's track off and on through out the trailing and never saw a dropped of blood for the whole mile,how she knows the deer is injured with no blood is a mystery to me,but she does it over and over again,I'm starting to think its magic!!!
