It was actually my buddy's dog that was hollaring and carrying on last night while on the phone with Jesse. Tucker found him, but Hank was in there on it too. Hank started the lead and Tucker branched off and got him. The deer double backed a bit on us. Hank follows the exact path the deer travels. Tucker put his nose in the air and winded him and walked the direction the deer ended up. My buddy saw him before the dog, but the dog took him the right direction. To answer your question, the dog(s) were helpful.
