Tracked one yesterday for a 10 yr old. His first deer. Hit high behind the shoulder. It was a typical muscle track. Blood for 40 yds, puddle (4" spot of blood), trail, puddle. This happens 3 or 4 times then Maxx looses interest. Once the deer leaves panic mode and thinks its alright, the smell changes and your tracking falls off. I hate it but you're just done.
STAY AWAY FROM THE SHOULDER!
PASS ON QUARTER-TO SHOTS...
NEVER FRONTAL SHOTS...
☆☆☆Nearest leg forward, head down, 5" back from outline of leg and 1/2 way up the deer.
DID I SAY STAY AWAY FROM THE SHOULDER?~~ITS A SHIELD/DEFLECTOR/ENEMY.

Today should be interesting. 150"? track in Nashport.... Hunter is all shook up! He said "May be my biggest deer ever!" He from Dayton and stayed in Columbus for early tracking...

Then a 130"? 8 pt in Bladensburgh. IF he can get his brother to meet me. Hunter has to work today and tomorrow out of town. This should be interesting as well....
DID I MENTION STAY AWAY FROM THE SHOULDER?

Todays track was for a preacher. Arrow w/aluminock stuck in ground for last blood. Arrow is gone when we got there. I spot a hotel/motel deer blind on stilts 80 yds away. Its open between the arrow and the blind. (Neighbor stole it)
Tracked it 1/2 mile and found blood. But the deer had already went up two steep hills and through 3 thickets without bedding.... Hunter stopped me and called the deer alive.
