Well, found where he laid and got up and not much blood. Pretty sure it clotted. He made the call to back out and call in the dogs. They’ll be here around midnight or a little after. I’m heading home and told him to FaceTime me when they find it. When I get some pics I’ll post them.
What makes it bad is they just blocked this area yesterday and finding blood is tough! I’d rather have solid weeds like his last big buck. When your walking and blood is hitting your arms or hand it’s much easier to track, lol. Plus you could figure out which trail it was on.

Hope!!!

Expected to wake up and see a pic of your son’s buck?

Hopefully y’all are just late posting pics due to all the celebrating.

Any more news?

Good luck!

Well, dogs showed and didn’t act right. They looked for 2.5hrs but the dogs never got on the scent even when they put them on blood. I don’t know if it was the fact it was freshly blocked or not.
They looked this morning as well. Blood was very sporadic and just quit. Brennan said they found just a little more from where we backed out and nothing.
He’s devastated. He watched this buck all last year, found one shed early and just found the other side a few weeks ago. He’s moved his cameras about 8 times this year trying to keep up and find him. He actually went with intentions of shooting a doe last night and at the last minute went to a lock on he’d put up at the bucks last location. He hadn’t shown on camera in days, but he just had a feeling. It was a 23yd chip shot and he still had no clue what went wrong.
Now it’s wait and see if he shows on camera or buzzards. Keep hoping I get a call saying we found him, but nothing yet. I even offered to take the day off and walk until I couldn’t anymore. Hate it for him after all he’s done to get on him.

That sucks!

I know the feeling

Been there ...done that.

On a good buck that you've targeted....it stings...causes nausea.
