Made quick work of this one in the rain. Tres jumped this bow shot buck about 200 yards down the trail, but he must have not had much left in the tank. Tres chased him about 75 yards and stopped, by the time we got there the deer was already dead. Sure was nice to have some moisture on the ground for a change!

Thankful to be able to end regular season with a bang. Had low expectations heading into this one as it was blue skies and 80 degrees. Tres trailed this gut shot buck up to a net wire low fence that we were almost certain the deer couldn’t make it across as the deer also had an injured back leg that he couldn’t put any weight on. I was about to call it, as Tres had already been running for over 3.5 miles at this point but when He started climbing over the fence I figured we better at least try. I took Tres around to the other side and he picked the trail back up and jumped the deer 60 yards in the brush. He chased him another 350 yards where he got him bayed and I was able to slip in and finish him. Two things that never get old are watching this dog work and the Hunter’s excitement when their deer is recovered.

Got a call on another crossbow shot buck. The hunter found one pool of blood about 100 yards from the shot. We put Tres down, and he jumped the buck 130 yards from the shot. Then Tres finally got him bayed at a pond on the opposite corner of the the ranch. Here, we were able to slip in and finish the buck. Once Tres had him bayed, he had already trailed 2.5 miles!

He’s not the prettiest, but luckily Tres doesn’t discriminate!

Got a call on this crossbow shot buck last week. We couldn’t find blood anywhere; but Tres was able to quickly find him dead 65 yards from the shot.

Big or small, we appreciate the call!

Meet the dog behind the tracking, Tres!🐾

Tres is a 3 year-old Male Blue Leopard Catahoula. He is always ready to go tracking; and his favorite toys are antlers that he loves to chew on🦌

Fun fact about catahoulas: They are a working breed‼️ They need a job to keep them busy, like tracking.
