Saturday night a hunter contacted us for advice on when it would be best to track this deer. Hunter didn't know if it was a passthrough but knew the hit was further back than he was hoping due to see the entrance behind the last rib as blood was coming out after the hit. We discussed tracking the deer the next morning (15hr mark) and went from there. Liam started at hit site, had a little bit of an issue with the morning frost but once he got on the trail in the woods he knew exactly where to go. About 100 yards into the woods and Liam jumps the deer out of his bed. We back out and discuss coming back in the evening- hunter agreed.
We came back later in the evening, started in the bed that we jumped the deer out of. Liam took a trail right away, exited the woods, walked the border of the woods, then cut back in to a pile of fallen trees where the deer had decided to lay in his final bed! There was no blood after the bed from this morning and the deer decided to lay down about 150 yards from his previous bed.
Congrats again to the hunter on an amazing buck and thanks for letting us help be apart of the recovery story!
