Sounds like it’s just a matter of time before y’all lay eyes on more shooters!

Good luck with the track! I think the deer will be laying close by where y’all left off! Kudos to you, Brian and T for backing out and calling in the hound. I don’t blame y’all one bit! Better safe than sorry! Staying tuned for hero pics!

I'm a little lost. Did he cross the river? Permission on other side?

Playing it over.. a dozen times.. hit really looks good for being kinda high, good down angle.. thats on a 3"x4" screen on the camcorder.. found the cord, plugged it into a TV.. can now see what looks like a good top of right lung.. angling down towards the left lung.. however, it seems like a lack of penetration.... 6" or so.. never found arrow.. arrow makes a big sweeping arc as the buck drops and runs... doesnt shear off.
Unfortunate.. will do our due dilligence to pursue recovery.

Sounds like he is dead. Thats a lot of blood for a high entrance and no exit. Gotta be filling his chest.

Short summary of tonight’s events...

Blood dog arrived @ 8:15. Watched videos of the shot with the tracker. Viewed pics of blood, and studied the trail, distance traveled & amount of blood that we found.

Went straight to the blood where we backed out. Dog picked up the trail immediately. Trailed the deer another 100 yards straight in to the river and crossed in to a property we don’t have permission to enter.
Kansas law says you may pursue an animal with a dog across property lines without permission until you are told no. We were told no at the property line.
In reality, the deer could be drowned & under water or be chasing does tonight.
He traveled over 600 yards without bedding.

We made every effort within the law to recover the deer. Talen is in good spirits , as best as he can be. We’ve talked a lot today about losing a big deer. What it does to you and how it makes you learn from it.

On a positive note, this morning was one of the best hunts I’ve ever had up here. I’m so glad I got to experience that with Talen. I don’t think I’ll ever have an issue getting hunt Kansas with me.

We start over tomorrow morning.
