This is my last deer of our season. It's going to be some fine table fare. Shot him with my Zona recurve which I didn't bring for the tracking job.
I thought I had hit him to far back so I left him over night. I figured it would be a time to put my puppy on a tracking job of a real deer. I had been laying short blood trails at home for her and she did well there.
I put her on the faint blood trail 16 hours old and she acted like she didn't know what to do. She just ambled around smelling everything. I blood trailed slowly encouraging her to find the deer. After about 60 yards I spotted the deer dead 15 yards ahead so I stopped and allowed her the time to find it on her own. She did but was very skittish at first. I praised her for finding it and encouraged her to get closer. It didn't take long and she was biting and pulling on the entrance where the arrow went in. I will start laying trails in the woods from now on so she can get used to the smells out there and hopefully get better.
My shot was better than I had first thought, entering the last rib on the deer's left side and exiting behind it's right shoulder. It only went 70 yards max.
Here's Mesha with "Her" find   :)
