🌲🏹 Another successful recovery thanks to Murdoc! Recently, a hunter faced a challenging situation after taking a shot that was just a bit too far back, resulting in a gut shot. The shot was approximately 80 yards away, skillfully navigating through trees, brush, and branches. After waiting an hour to track the deer, the hunter initially found no blood upon scanning the area.
Understanding the importance of patience and proper tracking, the hunter made the wise decision to back out and enlist Murdoc's expertise. After starting the search, Murdoc led us for 150 yards with still no sign of blood, and I could sense the hunter's confidence waning. Just when we were beginning to doubt, we discovered fresh blood roughly 200 yards from where the deer ran.
The journey continued through more thick brush and over barbed wire fencing for another 100 yards. Miraculously, Murdoc struck again and located the deer! It turns out the deer had traveled around 300 yards before bedding down after the initial run.
Remember, if you know you made the shot, don’t give up! You never know how far a deer might travel in these situations. This was my deer! You never know when you need to use your own tracking dog!
