🦌 YOUNG MAN’S FIRST DEER EVER! 🦌

Got a call from a hunter’s father last night. His son had shot a very nice buck with a crossbow yesterday evening, and when the shot hit, the buck took off hard.

I started asking the important questions—How was the deer standing? Was it a complete pass-through? What did the arrow look like?

He told me the arrow was covered in blood and had gut matter on it. I immediately told him, “Do not track that deer tonight. Give him time.”

Time is absolutely critical on a gut/liver hit. I see it all the time—hunters get anxious, go in too early, bump the deer out of its first bed, and turn what could have been a short recovery into a very long track.

These guys did it exactly right. They backed out, waited overnight, and didn’t go back in until Jett and I arrived this morning.

I got Jett harnessed up, put him in his sit/stay, and when I released him, he took the line with ease. We hadn’t gone far when I looked up and saw a white belly. Jett was heading straight to him!

The buck didn’t even make it 100 yards! 🦌🐾

This is a perfect example of why giving a questionable hit plenty of time can make all the difference. I really appreciate this father and son for being patient and doing everything they could to make this recovery successful.

And most importantly—congratulations, young man, on an awesome buck and your FIRST DEER EVER! That’s one you’ll never forget! 👏🦌

We’ve also been on several live-deer calls this week, and we’re already getting pictures of some of those bucks back on the hunters’ cameras. That’s always great to see.

We truly appreciate the call, and thank you for trusting Jett and Low to High Droptine Recovery to help recover this young man’s first deer! 🐾🦌

When in doubt, back out and give us a call!

Enjoying some sunshine. This early summer time weather. I don’t know who enjoys it more me, the kids or the pups. Won’t be long and they will all be headed to their new homes. Big thank you to everyone who is getting a pup. Both pups that were available have their homes.

Update: Both pups have found their home going to some great folks!
These pups are starting to really grow in to their personalities and causing chaos🤣. I have two available for anyone that has been waiting for a pup without having to get on a long wait list. Had two folks that had to back out. They will be ready to go in 3 weeks. Anyone interested scroll to top of page and read the pinned post there and shoot me a private message.

Here is what everyone loves to see brand new puppy pictures. Born Monday mom and all 5 pups are doing fantastic. 5 pups means everyone on waiting list will get taken care of this litter. So if you are considering a pup be a great time to get a deposit in to be on list for next litter. Which I will only make if I have folks on list. If you are already on list and haven’t spoke to me this week reach out please. I have tried contacting but haven’t heard back from everyone yet.
