No blood or sign of hit = dead deer
Dogs don’t always track a dead deer

OP glad you found it.

Truth.

A good dog will. OP doesn't have a good dog. Probably a good pet but it sucks at being a dog if it couldn't find a deer that only ran 45-80 yds. There is no excuse in the world for that. If anyone says it needs training they are FOS. A dog doesn't need training to use its nose.

I can show you a dog that's never been trained and will track wounded deer through a swamp. A dog that averages 30 deer a year and has never been on anything other than real deer. No mock blood trails or hide/hooves. A dog either has it or it dont.

Oh really? I have seen duck dogs not trail a double lung shot deer that I could see with my own eyes. She just had no care for deer blood, but they can trail a duck.

What’s the difference? Only thing I can think of is that they weren’t trained to trail deer blood.

Now I have seen some dogs that can do both, also.

Lol I never claimed I have a pro blood dog. I have a bad arse HRCH young duck dog that’s found 3 deer in the past 2 weeks so Is just realizing what a deer is. He’s not even 2 yet. So the fact that I brought him out on a trail with 0 blood at all 2 weeks after he’s ever even seen a deer, I kind of set him up to fail. The blood dogs that have found like 50 deer already this year ran past him too. The handler and me walked up on the deer and he couldn’t explain it either. So many deer are bedded close and in and out of there it’s easy for a dog to get on the trail of a alive stinky rutting buck. It also didn’t help I put my dog in on the wrong side of the thicket and repeatedly kept sending him in it and calling him back when he’d loop back to the plot where I shot him. So I didn’t exactly give him time to sort things out because I knew I was going to look the next day anyway.

With all that said I’m heading home to powpow’s Christmas party with a big buck for the wall bc I waited and didn’t push him or look more then 40 yds after I shot which some criticized me for and will be going to shoot ducks and specks next week with my crappy dog.

This forum used to be the best and filled with good camp atmosphere jokes and stories. Now it’s getting to be about like the OT filled with know it all’s thinking they’re funny trolling Internet forums all night. If anyone wants to see pics post an email and I’ll send them and y’all can post them. Other then that creep and find me on FB or Instagram, shouldn’t be too hard with my extremely cryptic and anonymous user name.
