Trails End Tracking Service

We got to go after a sure nuff good'n last night, Scott Echols and his pup Slate made short work of this one, approximately 500 yards in under 20 minutes and had him. The young man in this picture "Newby" shot this giant yesterday morning as he was coming out of his shooting house when he saw a doe with this toad in tow. He made a quick shot on him then gave him over an hour before he and his dad took up the trail. After 150 yds they saw the big deer get up and take off. They called me shortly afterwards and after hearing all the details we decided to err on the side of caution and treat it like a gut hit. We went in about the 11 hr mark and it was a good thing we did as it appears the buck tried to break cover for the last time when the dog got to him, or shortly before. The shot did in fact exit through the gut, so we were still very lucky we hadn't got their any earlier. Congratulations Newby on your 3rd 150+.13 scoreable points one for each year of Newby's young life!

Deer shot in liver was harvested 17 days later... Just goes to show you, never say "Dead Deer" until after you have your hands on it.

Youth season 2025 in the books... Kind of a bummer.... 2 live deer with visual eyes on. 1 deer finished and loaded after we left. The 2 live will most likely survive and will provide future hunting opportunities. To say the briars were not kind is an understatement. Either way, I'm sure glad I was blessed to spend some time with FIsher McKay and Valerie Scott! Two bright and smiling faces. Maybe better next year!

This!!!!

I wish I had $1 for every bad advice comment I see in the hunting pages when a hunter asks for advice. I’d be rich. These poor guys are obviously in a bad situation and they get misled by these guys who clearly do not know what theyre talking about and definitely arent sure what kind of sign/blood is on an arrow. I seen one guy bashing a kid because his headlamp died and he was using his phone light, calling him unprepared and saying he shouldnt even be hunting. Established trackers track as many deer in a week as most of these guys track in a decade and the good trackers wont even lead someone to believe that we could guarantee what the blood on the arrow is from. Occasionally yea there’s clear sign but it’s mostly guessing. The most I’ll ever tell someone when they send a bloody arrow pic is either, “looks pretty good”, or “cant tell much from that”.All that blood means is that the deer is bleeding, it doesnt mean it’s dying. Then the smartest guy on the comments says “I’d probably get a dog out there” and 10 guys who probably never shot a deer with a compound try to argue with him. Jesus help our sport- Please be respectful in the comments. We believe in respecting other sportsmen, no matter their opinion or style of hunting/tracking. I don’t want this post to turn into the very thing it was made about.

Hunters!

Over the next few days, we’re diving into one of the most important—and often misunderstood—aspects of hunting:

How shot placement affects deer recovery, blood trails, and wait times.

I'll cover topics like:
•What/Why some shots require patience before tracking
•How different organs affect bleeding, health and survival
•Tips for tracking tricky hits
•How deer behavior and biology can impact recovery
•How YOUR next actions after the shot can affect YOUR chances of a recovery!

💡 Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or just starting out, I plan to share details from my own tracking and work-related knowledge. The goal is to hopefully help you make ethical decisions and improve your recovery success, BEFORE calling anyone for assistance.

Stay tuned each day this week at 12pm noon— I’ll break it down in simple and practical steps so you know exactly what to do in the field and how to approach your hit!

Don't worry, Liebe isnt going to write any of these posts so you have been spared! 😂
