re: Catch dogs for non fatal shots

I saw a chase that was over 4 miles, with half mile at least swimming, that took place on the same piece of property. I bet it happened on less than a thousand acres. This deer was smoked, but not a fatal shot. He had a huge chunk of his chest/brisket blown out, so much you could somewhat see in his chest cavity. As hard as that deer ran, he would have been in a bind in a few days from gangrene or what not. It was pretty wild watching 2 dogs work him.
