good luck...hope its a good one!

Doe. Got lung and meat at impact spot. Found lung blood about 100 yards away. First dog didn't want to work. Dog 2 is on the way

Update needed.

Tracking with a dog is tricky. Mine is 9 years old and has pulled off some incredible track jobs. He’s extremely good. He still goes on tracks where it looks like it’s going to be a slam dunk and a half mile and 3 hours later you start to figure out that a speck of blood every 100 yards isn’t going to get you the deer. They’re toughhhhhhhhb

this Chocolate lab Gage in the MS blood trailing network was awesome...he doubles as a catch dog too...if it's just wounded he will catch and hold it until his handler and the original shooter gets there to finish him off

This was a good 230yd. kill by my son that took out both lungs and the heart and the deer fell where he shot it..he waited 5 minutes to make sure it was down, but it got up and ran just before my son got out of the stand, leaving a huge puddle of blood where it lay and then nothing...deer went into the woods and doubled back uphill 60 yards from where it went in...we couldn't find it, so we backed out and called in a dog.

No luck with dog 2. Found blood again but no further than the previous try. Had lung chunks at impact spot. Blood was thin in woods then a big lung blood pool about 100 yards in then nothing.
Neither dog got on a trail

Looks like I lost my first deer

Depends. Generally I start my dog where the deer was shot even if I’ve found blood a good ways in. It gets him going the right way and makes it easier for me to tell if he’s on it or not. Starting at the last blood leads to backtracking sometimes. I know with my dog a lack of interest means a long arse night of not finding a deer is ahead of us. The pile of blood with nothing after it is what you see after you jump them. If the dog didn’t jump it and wasn’t close enough to catch up and Bay it, that deer wasn’t going to be found that night.

Sometimes my dog will quit showing interest in a track pretty quickly before he gets to the end of the blood. It’s frustrating but over the years we’ve learned that means we probably aren’t finding that deer and he already knows it. He’ll keep working it if I tell him to and we usually do, sometimes we’ll find a few more blood specks or maybe jump it but rarely get the deer. Remember the dog isn’t looking for blood like you are, he’s tracking the scent of the deer and he doesn’t need blood to do that.

Sucks man. I’ve been on tracks before when my dog wasn’t going to find the deer and the guy felt like my dog wasn’t working hard enough. Often I’ve heard the “buzzards gotta eat too” remark when it started looking bleak, meaning the guy is convinced the deer is a dead and we’re just not good enough to get it. I keep working him because I don’t want to give up on the guy but I’m 100% confident that if Hoss doesn’t lead me to it, it’s not dead. It’s tough to convince yourself of that when you see so much blood but it happens often. Seems like I’ve had better luck with the dog on scant to zero blood tracks than the “he’s gotta be out of blood by now” tracks. All you can do now is go stomp around and try to find it yourself in the daylight.
