Doe for the freezer
Pappy:
Guess if they can make it and have a choice they feel safe and out of sight in a gully or ditch line. Guess this was just another lesson in why so many deer are lost, they can do the strangest things and with out a good blood trail to follow and given the fact that they can go a long way even hurt bad and never seems to be the way you think they should go it is tough to just walk them up, covering ground that you really don't think in you way of thinking that they would have gone to is tough to make yourself do it. I have found over the years that they usually go just opposite of what you think they should. :) Like the thought that a hard hit deer won't go up hill ,will bed quickly or will always go to water, just ant true. Sometimes it works out that way but for sure not a set rule. Thanks guys, yes Pat it has been a good season so far. ;)

Congrats on a fine doe, Pappy. Persistence is a welcomed virtue when it comes to tracking hard to find deer. Also, a big congrats to sister on a job well done!

They just made it legal in Iowa to use a dog to blood trail deer.Might need to check into that.
Pappy:
You can use them in Tennessee but they have to be on a leash, I had Red Bones for years and love them dogs but have gotten to old to handle one of them on a leash, ??? My best dog was Old Dan he was 80 + pounds and track over 100 deer in in life, 7 years if the deer died he found it , no question, I have had many deer that the guy would say I think the deer went this way and i would say WELL Old Dan said he went this way and I am going with Old Dan. ;) He was always right. ;) they can be trained on a leash but not really bread for a leash I don't think, Sister is just the right size a little slower and don't pull so hard and is getting better all the time, she will be 4 in April, you just have to learn to trust the dog and sometimes that is hard to do, I get more trust in her every time out. :)
