Got a couple pics yesterday. Here is the first one. Caller said shot biggest deer of my life and ran out of blood.
My first thought was this deer "Slipped the trackers" for sure!
(The PERFECT TRACK soon fell apart).
Getting ready, he sent a pic and I did not study it.... That much blood I'll look at the deer in detail in a little while.
This TC pic is taken on that blood trail!
Arrow is barely in deer! Gravity is taking blood and meat up the shaft...not penetration.
Blood trail dried quickly after arrow fell out. (120-40 yds). Maxx progressed it another 200-300 yds and we found a couple more spots of blood (less than pencil eraser size).But enough at right time for definite direction. We hit a dead end on a property with signs and nobody was home.
We covered 800-900 or more yds total. The track went straight up and down hills several times.... The deer's behavior was beyond the blood track going across the field. There was a couple chances to take a easy route but the deer wanted to go up-and-down the hollers instead.... SMH...
I am still baffled to how this deer survived after pumping the blood down that arrow as much as the first 85-100 yds.
I have offered to assist hunter again if he can gain permission for last property. It will be a grid search, but still trying.
I get too emotionally involved with these deer.... My brain will not let me quit until every avenue is exhausted....
