Heart Shot Doe and Track with video

[roysmoke]

Saturday morning I shot a doe a little higher than I wanted to. I had good blood on my arrow but the trail wasn’t great. I took my dog out and she immediately tried to take me up a hill in an area I didn’t think the deer was. I got frustrated with her since I don’t work her much and figured I would put her back in the car and keep looking myself. After another hour I figured I was running out of time for the meat to be good and decided to let her have another take at it. I let her check out the arrow and off she went up the hill again. I followed her just for entertainment not thinking we were heading in the right direction. She never slowed down and ran up the hill and right to the deer under a cedar tree! I was so proud of her!! That evening I set up the camera and smoked a doe right where I wanted the arrow to go. I pulled out and got the dog for practice. I let her check out the arrow and off she went! She took me off in another direction I didn’t think the deer had gone and this time I decided to trust her. She again took me right to the deer! I’m super proud of her and had a great time working on the never ending doe population on the ranch!


Here is the video:

Awsm shot placement and im happy for you that your dog is doing so well. I really want to get a dog that'll come with me and help out in my hunting adventures. Do you think a lab would track like that? Also im curious what kind of lighted knock your using?

Lumenok, and Ive heard of labs that will track. There are other breeds that I think would do better but try and get some blood and freeze it. If you already have a lab then work the dog on some shorter tracks with an item of interests at the end and see what happens. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.
