Got a good one here but do not hire out. He has recovered three deer and no formal training. He is a Hanging Tree Cattle dog. Like stories like this as the dogs earn their keep daily like the rest of us and then excel when needed.

That's pretty neat for sure! It's amazing what their noses can do. I've always wondered how much they can tell just from a scent.

Im impressed. Pardon my ignorance as ive never recovered a deer that sat that long in 70 degree weather. I could see throwing away tender loins and flanks, but why legs and backstraps? If he bled out internally to chest /gut cavity, why would meat covered in skin go bad so fast?

Glad you found him. Those dogs are amazing! Reading a book now on grizzly hunting with dogs in New Mexico. A good properly trained dog is worth his weight in gold no matter what your after. Congratulations

Congrats on the save. Wouldve been a shame to lose that one to the buzzards.
Even though I grew up with hounds and know what canine noses are capable of it still amazes me.

24 hours in this heat good eating. In my experience double lung deer rarely go beyond 50 yards one lung shot deer go considerly farther and can take several hours to die. Lot of high tree stands with sharp downward angle result in single lung. That’s why you shouldn’t be in a hurry to follow up. I have recovered a lot of 1 lung shot deer and quit often will jump them and the final run usally bleeds them out in a hurry

The double lung shot you describe, from my understanding is the result of a center lung hit were it severely collapses both lungs and sometimes cutting major artery to heart seriously dropping blood pressure immediately basically cutting oxygen to brain very quickly
A shot the hits less than center of one or both lungs will result in a little slower death. You most certainly can hit both lungs and death takes 5 minutes or more. I assure you my hit entered right side of rib cage and exited left rib cage resulting in both lungs being hit by broadhead.

Back in 1996, I shot a bear late one evening while hunting over bait in Maine. Had some blood, but by the time the guide showed up to pick me up, it was pitch black and it was decided to go back in the morning. Around midnight it began to rain, and rained for a couple hours. The next morning, we were back with a Plott hound on a lead. There was no blood trail remaining, but that Plott was pulling had on he lead. We found the bear about 150 yards away in the thick spuce. I never would have believed that dog could recover anything from a washed out, 12 hour old trail.

I have a dog man in my phone just in case, lol. His dog is 100% on gut shot deer. Never lost one. He’s said it 1000 times, can’t get a shot at the vitals? Then gut shoot it and we’ll find it. Call him when you shoot and he’ll tell you what time he’ll be there...generally 5-6 hours later on a gut shot deer. He doesn’t charge a dime and just asks for tips. Don’t think anyone’s ever tipped less than $100-200.

Had a blue heeler that tracked many deer. She died in 2019.
