I actually think CNC has a point. People like Eddie Maxwell will report someone for farting if it’s not clearly articulated in the Alabama Code. I don’t know what drives them to be such antagonists. Seems like if folks are that interested in law they would have become a lawyer.

Anyway there’s a couple really nice, ethical trackers in Winston County. It would be a shame if s*it stirrers like Maxwell got it taken away from them

Dang, I read that to say that if the deer is alive and you are in a closed county, you are dog deer hunting and it was illegal. Did i read it right??

I’m one that believes if an animal is mortally wounded and is suffering that it should be put down any time day or night if the opportunity is present. I have on several occasions found deer after dark that was still alive but couldn’t get up and I dispatched the deer. I will do it every time. I think if a tracker runs into the same situation, they should put an end to the suffering as quick as possible also. That’s as far as I’m gonna go with this topic.

be honest parts of me have a hard time with things like this but other parts say ,,,, the law is the law . pure definition of hunt would make tracking dogs illegal where no dogs allowed . since they so good at making rules as they go they could change that easily .

seem like it can never be just ,,,, simple . imo , they do it that way on purpose

Yes and according to the Chief its gotta stop…..which I take to mean that folks are about to get ticketed this fall. This was supposed to be addressed after this got said in Feb but somewhere along the line either someone has dropped the ball or the powers that be are just not doing anything about it. I’ve been quiet about it since Feb because I was under the impression that it was being taken care of but apparently not.

cnc ,,, i cant understand why any one would be against it . is dog hunters doing the biggest complaining ?? im gonna take a guess and say ,,,, since they cant use dogs then trackers cant use dogs ????

You are correct

petty bs , all i can say

If you wait 4-6 hours, then start tracking and the deer is still alive, that deer has a chance to survive. Make better shots and you won't have to worry about it. Say a hunter blows a deers leg off. He beds up, the wound is non lethal. Should you be able to dispatch that deer at night? Sounds a little like night hunting to me. Use a dog to find dead deer. If he ain't dead, back out.

You can't say stuff like this on here! People would probably take better shots if they knew they couldn't just pay a tracker a couple bucks to come see if they killed it, or come kill it for them. If a Tracker kills a deer it should go against their three deer limit. They killed it. Right?

I hope you gut shoot a giant next year just for being jackass on here. I can assure you I wont be coming to help find it.

What’s funny is this same jackass that wants to get on here and just stir chit like this called me last year because he had knocked the hair off of one and wanted someone to come find it for him….. Just wanted to throw that out there since he seems to like trolling so much. As a matter of fact I think I’m gonna give your number to the other trackers in the area to put on their black list since you seem to like publicly bashing what we do so much.

Seems like CNC has his painties in a wad.

And did you come?

Nope…..I told you it didn’t sound like a lethal shot and to look around and see if you could find any evidence of a good hit other than a few pieces of hair…..you never called me back with anything else. That’s what’s funny about you getting on here now spewing bullchit…..Like I said, you don’t have to worry about it in the future either…..Keep on being a jackass and I assure you that no one will ever come out to help you.

I believe he was fishing and you swallowed the bait. Dang

Let me clarify my stance on this issue. First I believe anyone who shoots a deer should make every effort possible to recover that deer by any means necessary. Second I believe anyone should have the right to do whatever they want on their land, if you want to shoot deer at night do it, I don't care. May not think it's right, but it's your business not mine. That being said, right now under state law it's illegal to shoot deer at night for any reason. I think we have enough laws as it is and we don't need some jackass stirring up chit, to get more laws passed because he thinks it's gonna benefit HIM. If this gets be black listed by some organization so be it! If someone is turning you in for night hunting for just recovering a deer either they're an idiot, or YOUR a jackass! Just my opinion, don't have to agree, but doesn't mean I'm trolling.

No "tracker" permit to be sold right now, so no one gives a chit about your dilemma.

If you don’t won’t a full blown tracking dog I can’t see why a lab couldn’t be trained to do it. They have the nose and can be trained to do about anything. Barking bayed off a lead might be the only problem. Using a lead or a tracking collar would solve that.

Several people track with labs. Matter of fact Krystal Gainey uses labs and they Do a fine job.
