Went to track a buck shot last night. 400ish yds Maxx found a bed w/blood. Another 300 yds we found blood in a scrape and on a rub. Called it alive.

No. Dang video of shot stopped right at release. I believe its through the brisket by blood spots in bed. But I could be wrong.
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....

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.

The neighborstole the arrow out of the ground covered with blood? wtf is wrong with people
Not to mention bad karma coming his way.... preach was pretty cool too.
Dry spell lifted today.
Blood at hit sight looked like liver. Arrow only had good blood on front 6". Confusing track for sure. I told the hunter to back out things were not making sense. Maxx smelled the arrow and got busy! 14 Hours after the shot, we see it was hit in the liver and the deer was still breathing. Died before he could even put an arrow in it. Gooboy Maxx!

I forgot to tell the rest. 3 small puddles of blood were missing at arrow spot also.
SMMFH....
Here is another one. Tracking friend took one shot last night. Hit the track today... someone had already cut the antlers off!
And the arrow wound was in plain sight.
