First gun track for the season and “THE BEAST “ is batting .1000

The hunter had to finish off the deer after a half mile track.  The track was 27 hours old and the deer was shot through the front leg.  We found a couple pieces of bone on the track.  The hunter told me that he didn’t think there was a chance the dog would recover the deer, because his son and himself looked for the buck for 5 hours.  My son found the only spot of blood on the track , other than a few drops where he jumped a fence.
