Afton, NC. That's a country place thereWas this hunter in the Axtell area by any chance? Guy called me last night about a deer that he shot, but I had to tell him I don't track at night any more; too dangerous for the dog (and me).

Yea, I told him after interview that I could do it morning. Didn't sound good to begin with, few drops blood for 20 yards and those were after he ran 70 yards.That's the place I meant, not Axtell.Afton, NC.

Yeah, when I talked with him, he said something about his scope fogging up and not being able to see well when he pulled the trigger. Told him I don't track at night anymore, and I couldn't meet him in the morning because I had an appointment......Yea, I told him after interview that I could do it morning.

Yea that's definitely him, never a good sign when they say stuff like that over the phone. He was a friend of a friend and Cooper was impressive, was glad I got the opportunity.Yeah, when I talked with him, he said something about his scope fogging up and not being able to see well when he pulled the trigger.

Nice work them deer love to die near a creek24 hour old track, maybe 250 yards. 11 year old boy shot buck with his dad yesterday morning. He called and said there is some blood but they already jumped the buck twice, so they backed out and called me. Earliest I could get there was at the 24 hour mark. Started at first blood and Cooper was flawless, down and hill, check left, then check right across a creek then followed the edge tell he was able to take us 75 yards further then last blood with no blood we could see and found the deer on the creek bank. Was a low hit as you can see from the picture.View attachment 22043View attachment 22044
Anybody available to help between Pittsboro and Sanford this morning?
A man with a tracking dog is in the business of sour and unappetizing realities. No one owes BHRook an explanation; I doubt anyone is worried about sparing his feelings if he and his dog don't make a recovery; he isn't a 12 year old. Now, maybe he has people that do BS him, but his experience isn't totally inconsistent with what I've seen. I shot a deer, lost a deer, was sick about it, only to have a hunting partner shoot the same deer a month later, with no leg.Let me spell it out for you.
If I didn’t want to admit I likely mortally wounded a deer and didn’t recover it, I’d:
Post up a photo of a deer and tell you that’s the one we were tracking.
If you’re not skeptical of such, good for you. I couldn’t care less either way.

The other thing, it seems like (and would be logical to assume) that most of these are taken with a gun. Your odds of not recovering a deer fatally shot with a rifle, with a dog, are relatively low (especially compared to a bow.)
You can do a reverse google image search to see if you think he's stroking you. I don't.
