Here are the 3 happy hunters. One was a long 1/2 mile track in Hocking Hills State Forest. Died down in a hell-ravine while running. Hunter hit liver and guts.

Second track was for an out of state hunter. 7 blood and gut matter beds in 1.5 miles. Maxx swam the river and jumped the buck who backtracked around a tree and tried running over my hunter. His guts were hangin out too. Tried going across river and got hung in a log jam... hunter put another arrow in it while Maxx was freaking out on a live one.

Whooped and heading home, got the call a 6 yr old just shot her first doe ever. It was on the way home... and for a sweet girl. Maxx was sluggish, but soon as he smelled that blood, it was on again! Deer went about 200 yds and jumped from her first bed. Deer couldn't get out of second bed, so hunters Dad played rodeo with it...
(HAD to of been there 🤣).
 
First track was 3/4 mile. Deer never did bed. Just kept doing loops around bottoms and thickets and stuff looking for a girlfriend I believe. Several scrapes when that happens as well. Bet that deer's on camera shortly.

The second track was laid out for me like I've never seen before. Hunter had blood marked with orange ribbons for 3/4 of the track. Maxx took over and ran itt to a property line where we were stopped. Right at the line I found 2 spots of blood and hunter called it. Met the neighbors and let them know if they find a deer let us know. I'm 70% sure that deer will be back on camera in 3-5 days... maybe 8.

Maxx still done his part 100%
 
Long night ahead. Maxx is pissed I pulled him off on the neighbors. If we can get permission on next two properties (one is skinny), I'll restart maxx at impact and hope for the best.
Funny thing about this... this will be #70 for Maxx. That will put him in the professional category in the United Blood Trackers. No shit though, I'm worried about this one! Get some rest Maxx Dawg!
