^^^ Congrats - look forward to pics Last night’s deer turned out to be a double leg hit…..Got back on him this morning and Otis pretty much ran straight to him about another 300 yards from where we jumped him last night…..I heard Otis let out a few barks out ahead of us like he was on bay and suddenly here he comes running a coyote by us….I toned Otis off of him and hollered at the coyote to try to get him to go on be you could tell he wasn’t really scared and was looking for a meal. Otis got back on the track and jumped the buck about 40-50 yards further down the trail…..He took him about 200 yards and the buck locked down and gave up….When we moved in to dispatch the buck the coyote was right back on him with Otis…..Otis was barking and baying and the coyote was making a little bigger circle out around the deer…..First time I’ve had that happen…….Here’s the original shot……. Heck of a first deer for a youth………

Thanks fellas......We're about to head out and meet some folks to look for another bow shot this morning.....Don't know a whole lot of details about it yet other than they had decent blood but decided to back out and give it over night

This morning’s track ended up being hit in the armpit and out the front of the brisket. The arrow didn’t look good at all. It didn’t even really look like it had passed through the deer other than a small smear of fat and blood on one fletching…..At about the 200 yard mark though it bled pretty good…..We kept tracking it until Otis ran into a big sounder of pigs along the track and it blew up the whole thing…..I don’t know if the sow got on him or what but he started baying up ahead of us and next thing I know he’s hauling ass back to the truck. At this point I didn’t know it was pigs and was thinking maybe the buck got on him and boogered him up….. So we get back to the truck and check him out to make sure he’s ok and decide to go back with all three dogs to see how hurt the deer may be. Turn them all three loose and next thing you know we hear pigs squealing and running every direction. My lab grabbed about a 40 pounder and had it down by the throat when we caught up to them. Needless to say it kinda put a damper on trying to get back on the deer. I think he’s likely just got a bad flesh wound though.

Well my guy just called me back saying he found it. Love how people say one thing but always do another. Yep, happens fairly often.

I forgot about one funny part of today’s track……There were three of us today on the track….Me, the hunter, and his buddy…..After I let all three dogs loose, Ruby had the pig by the throat in the bottom below us and it was squealing like hell with pigs scattering all around us…..My other dog Lu-lu looped around behind us without the hunters knowing and came running by us brushing up against the buddies leg as she passed….He thought it was one of the pigs and he jumped up in the air and squealed out thinking one of them had done got him. It would have been a good moment to have on camera.

Fine buck right there! Keep up the excellent work CNC! Thanks!.....Yeah that one had some really nice mass on the tines and main beams.....He's also got a pretty good kicker off that back tine that's laying on the ground

I sure hate to see bow season come to an end…..The tracking game is about to completely change this weekend. Folks can say what they want to about bows and crossbows but there’s a lot more lead that’s just “slung” at deer than there are arrows and bolts….Bring on all the “I’ve got 2 drops of blood and was aiming right behind the shoulder” calls Haha so true… hit on the opposite end… ....or....."You know how that .243 doesnt leave an exit hole sometimes"
