Doesn't matter. Finding one with a dog is being rewarded for what is usually a bad shot

This is dumb. I have a lab that blood trails. The reward is seeing that lil fricker find a deer in two minutes that may take a couple hunters 30 plus minutes or may not even find it. I don't really deer hunt but it's awsome to watch him work. Last year 10-11 year old shot a nine point early season one morning. His dad called me and said he hit it but not well. I say stay the hell away of that's the case and I'll be at your lease in a hour. Of course, he went and looked and lost blood 30-40 yards. I put the dog on it and he finds the deer in a few minutes. Little boy gives my dog a hug and says thank you to the dog and myself. That's the reward for putting a dog on a deer.
