Maxx had to be down for a day. Worked verbally with a guy needing help. Turned him on to the peroxide trick. Deer found 400 yds away tucked in the creek. I had told him to exhaust every option before quitting.
Persistence paid off!
Headed to New Lexington in the morning. Hunter seems to be quite happy and relaxed....
Said he's been bow hunting an awful loooooooong time and he'll guarantee me this is a dead deer... they just can't find the damn thing!....
Its going to be interesting I bet.

Rick, you need to write a book. It'll be a best seller .. 
How many times have you heard that oneHeaded to New Lexington in the morning. Hunter seems to be quite happy and relaxed....

Its no longer "How many licks for a Tootsie Pop". It's now: "How many beers and still find the deers".
I swear you cannot make this sheet up!

He hasn't called yet...That's not the answer I figured you'd give him ....
It is easy to have a negative opinion of hunters if you run a dog. I did not do many and I got a taste of it. There was a learning curve for the dog and the handler. I'm still kicking myself for not trusting Hank in one of our earliest tracks. It was for a TOO member. They found the buck during gun season in a thicket Hank kept bringing me back to.
I took some tracks like Rick has described. When they find their arrow later and see it was a complete miss. . . You learn to screen calls better. They need to give you something to work with. I hate to hear some of the run around Rick and Maxx are getting. Keep your chin up and keep sharing the feel good stories. They seem to make it worth it.

It happens. Unfortunately I just found out a few minutes ago about a deer that I pulled Maxx off of... we were on the right track and 40 yd short.
And I put 150% into every track. But it still sucks to leave one. Trust your dog is hard one to learn.

When you know you have a talented dog it is stupid to underestimate them. Ask me how I know.

I’m still undecided if I’ll do searches this year. Like Seth, the level of stupidity I saw last year frustrated me. On the upside, I did meet some great folks.
