Mason Michigan Deer Blood Tracking Dog

 

 

This was a wonderful recovery that we were able to make in Mason Michigan. The hunter called first thing in the morning. The buck had been shot the previous morning. The hunter could see that the buck had quickly turned out of the shot, causing a far back entry. The exit ended up being in the hind leg. He immediately backed out for 9hrs. Upon returning to look for the buck, they kicked it up and watched it walk away. There was light rain in the forecast. They backed out and called first thing in the morning. This is an absolute perfect tracking situation where the hunters did everything right and did not contanimate the bloodline that was invisible to us but very easy for the dog to smell. Congratulations on a great trophy and continued success in the field!

We recovered this buck approximately 20hrs. after the shot. The shot entry was high behind the shoulder and below the spine . The buck was quartering toward causing the path of the arrow to enter one lung and liver. When I arrived I soon realized we were dealing with a difficult tracking situation. The buck had entered a thicket and bedded trying to remove the arrow. He was thrashing and stumbling everywhere. The broadhead was in his liver and he ended up breaking most of the arrow off. This thicket had his scent everywhere and we were dealing with high winds. We kicked up at least 3 live does to add to our problems. I restarted Chloe several times and could not get a lock on a line. Our last effort before calling it quits we crossed his exit route and Chloe marked on blood. After we found his exit, the track became very easy and we went straight to the buck. This is his largest deer to date and made one very happy hunter. Congratulations on your trophy and continued hunting success >>---------->

This right here is why we train all season long. Rick called earlier in the day and said he had shot a deer and wanted to inquire about our deer tracking services. He said it wasn't the biggest buck, but the first antlered buck he has got with a bow. He ran out of blood due to a gut shot and thick terrain. I decided to come out after finishing up some work.
On my way over, he called and told me not to come because they had just got a heavy rainstorm. He did not want me to drive the hour and not have any scent to work with. I thought about it for a minute and called him back and said I would like to take the track anyways and see if she locks on to the scent. We have never bothered tracking after a downpour, but this was soon after and I wanted to try.
We arrived 23hrs. after the shot and in between thunderstorms and took up the track just before dark. Chloe worked through the shot sight and into a field where they had marked blood the day before. She then crossed into a thicket passed where the hunters had searched. Her intensity levels while working told me that this deer was dead and she was determined to find it. Without any blood to see, we started to get alot further than I thought the gut shot deer should have went before bedding down. I was beginning to have my doubts about the deer, but my dog was reassuring me with her work. Soon Rick spotted a large clump of blood that was the only confirmation that we were on the track. After a little over half a mile, we arrived at his trophy. Rick was completely in disbelief of everything that had just happened. The feeling of lost hope had just been shattered and he was holding his trophy. He couldn't have been happier and said this is a memory that he will be telling his grandchildren. Congratulations to Rick and thank you for letting us be part of the hunt!

This was the hunter's first deer and he shot it with a bow!  This was a quartering toward shot that passed through a sinle lung and liver and did not exit.  There was very little blood to follow, but Chloe was hot on the track.  Another deer making it home instead of going to waste in the woods.

This buck was another gut shot expandable broadhead. We have more problems with expandables than any other broadhead.  There was only one confirmed drop of blood on the trail that was just over a couple hundred yards long. This was some very thick hunting property and the deer would have been impossible to find without the use of a trained deer tracking dog.

This buck was shot high in the rear intesting and the arrow exited through the center of the body near the liver.  The hunter knew that his shot was not perfect and after analyzing the shot site, he found some blood but it soon disappeared. He backed out a gave me a call. I recommended letting the deer lay for at least 7 hrs. Chloe and I arrived at 3:00a.m. and were able to make a quick recovery with a very sparse blood trail.

Chloe is helping out hunters the best way she knows how, recovering wounded deer.  This buck made it 2 miles on a perfect shot.  The bottom pic is actually the exit wound and entry was only a couple inches back. It was shot from a ground blind.  The buck was barely still alive and we were able to back out so the hunter could get his bow and finish the job.  The buck somehow clotted up and was able to make it this far, leaving no blood the last 500 yds.  It would have been impossible to find without a leashed blood tracking dog. These bucks can be tough!
