We tracked a buck years ago shot in the back leg that tried to cross a small creek branch out ahead of us and simply couldn’t get out of it….You could see where it made several attempts to go up the other bank but just kept sliding back down…..It finally gave up and tried going up the creek but eventually ran into a fallen tree where it was just stuck when we found it……

The big eight point we finished off a couple weeks ago came out of the bed running like hell on three legs at first but after only a few hundred yards he was piled up on his chest with his butt in the air after running off a creek bank and blowing out the other front leg…..Its not like we’re talking about having a pack of wolf hounds on him either……Otis is about like an overgrown weenie dog….Heck, just three days ago a hunter called me on a broken leg shot around Troy that I referred to another tracker down that way. I talked to him later and he said they found it dead at 800 yards completely eaten by the coyotes….That happened in one night before the tracker even got there. That happens over and over and over and the best defense anyone can put up against it is a picture of this ONE deer we saw this one time years ago.

Again, deer have to get extremely lucky to survive leg shots. It just isnt that hard for coyotes to take them out and they are damn sure being actively targeted. ……Also again, the reality of what folks are whining about is the fact that there might be ONE anomaly amongst thousands of leg shots that might make it…….Psssh……That’s just Karen looking for something to be Karen about. It doesn’t mean there’s actually a problem

That’s kinda the same thing I was admitting about my own opinion with drones…..Is it really something significant to be concerned about or is it just blowing something out of proportion that’s not really a problem?? I want to believe it’s the first but when you start seeing things for yourself that are already occurring then it makes you wonder where its about to go from here.
