Y’all got CNC triggered 😂
In my opinion if your to lazy to try to find the animal you shot, then you should not be around me or my dog. That's funny coming from someone who sits in a shooting house over a corn pile every hunt.....Do you walk from camp or drive your buggy right up to the shooting house??  Sonofa.... 
Did you know that Beer Nutz are over a Dollar...and Deer Nutz are under a Buck...

He’s like the big brother and I’m the little brother that keeps walking behind him him and popping him in the back of the head with my hand. He just likes lazy people and I don’t. It’s good for him but does nothing for me. He likes growing weeds and I like growing crops. We just see the same world in different ways. Occasionally we call each other names but at the end of the day, I’d share a camp and cook him one hell of a meal and we’d both learn something from each other.

I’m a typical male I suppose because every time I see someone asking for a tracking dog I think to myself “I bet I could find it”.
I grew up dog hunting with a LOT of marginal shots being made. Bow hunting too
I really do enjoy it though.

If possible I like to track with 3 guys. One only stands on last blood and he needs to do his job and not move, but stay back and direct the general direction because eyes on the ground can lead to tunnel vision. The other two need to be good trackers. One doesnt go very far from last blood and is the fine/speck blood guy. The third can venture out if blood is lost. This guy never walks where he thinks the trail is. But, he can go ahead and check out a creek crossing, bank, or spot that tracks or blood might pick up because of a change in direction or elevation. Normally, this is they guy you want to be the best tracker that can tell what a broken twig, hoof mark, or rolled rock means as far as direction.
If only two guys are available then marking every blood speck is needed and the other tasks are shared. I'll add that most problems come from going TOO FAST.

I'm not good at tracking because I rarely have to do it. Made a bad shot on a deer last year and got help to track and eventually a dog the next day. Deer was still alive when dog found him 12 hours after the shot.

Tara Hunting Lodge in Mississippi is bow hunting only……From what I’ve heard they make their hunters stay in the stand and use a dog to find every deer that’s shot…..That’s the smart way of doing it in my opinion and the same thing I would do in that situation. It's the most efficient way of going about it.

It's the most efficient way of going about it. They’ve got an entire kennel of dogs ready to go. At least when I was there several years ago. When it’s business that’s on the line it seems like a great idea to have those trained dogs. 😂

And honestly, I just don’t want any one on my place I don’t know if I absolutely don’t have too. I have no idea if you are a decent person or not. Do you have a sorry kid or brother thats casing the place to come back? Will you steal if you get the chance? Are your dogs actually any good? Do you know what you’re doing or just a blow hard running off at the mouth. Just because your dog didnt find it doesn’t necessarily mean it really is a back slap. Ive seen people find deer behind a dog and other dogs find a deer behind a dog . (All when we dog deer hunted.) Etc. 1 buck i shot and hit (I’ve missed a couple) that I couldn’t find myself in the last 25 years (and Skintback found it). All that is why a dog is my last choice. Careful!!! You are gonna be called names. However we have the same frame of mind.

It is absolutely becoming a lost art. Shameful reality, really. Like most everything else these days - it takes practice, determination, and effort that very few are willing to put forth.

We have never had to call a tracker with a dog, but if we did it would be a last resort. And it’s also good to have that option. If you’re a deer hunter you should have many skills besides shooting.
