OK...So I got my pp smacked by the tracking group. I'm not allowed to say "Thats cause you can't shoot for shit!"
Man, I'm glad I didn't say what I was really thinking. 🤣

Thanks for sharing that story with me. It was enjoyable to read. Sometimes you got to make them look in the mirror.

Maxx has slowed down and gained precision in his tracking.
I will say Maxx's tracks were very short due to the heat. Scent dogs do not do well in hot and dry conditions. Maybe that is a factor.

I have heard if you drip saline eyewash into your dogs nose until they start to swallow (just takes a LITTLE bit) it will moisten their nasal passages / remove debris and can help with dry / dusty conditions.

Yes. I practicly force water on Maxx. He drinks out of a bottle (with my finger regulating flow) and I mane sure some gets on his nose as well.

Got called to track a nice buck. Watched video of It all. 350 Legend (I'm 0-10 with) Knocks buck down, it flops and kicks. Barely gets back up, runs off whopper-jawed as hell. Back legs were not in sync with rest of the deer. No blood anywhere and Maxx could almost gave a shit less about the smells...
Research calls it Back-Whack. Extreme top of deer near front leggs. Totally disrupts nervous system and causes temporary paralization. Bang, Flop, and Disappear til next time! Deer Lives.

Todays track was a mess. Younger gentleman's biggest deer ever. Went in behind a drone because drone guy "wasn't experienced enough". They started me at last blood after asking for 40-60 yds of blood. THEN let me know he was back-tracking...😡 Finally got Maxx lined out on blood and he proceeded to show us 2 miles of blood yet again with no beds and up-and-down hills even a Billy goat would resist. Hunter now believes muscle hits bleed a lot and deer is fine.
STAY AWAY FROM THE SHOULDER COMES TO MIND... 🤣
