Jolanta Jeanneney > John starting the line with Bernie. It was a warm day, temperature around 70 degrees, and overcast sky.
Jolanta Jeanneney > This morning we got a call from a hunter located 16 miles from our place. He gut shot a deer yesterday at 5:30 pm. He went to the hit site this morning and could not find his buck. There was light grey hair at the hit site and the recovered arrow indeed confirmed that the deer was gut shot.
Jolanta Jeanneney > ...and getting a piece of venison. Good boy Billy!
Jolanta Jeanneney > Billy got his reward by tugging a deer...
Jolanta Jeanneney > Forty yards later (and two hours from the start with Bernie) we found the deer. It was a very sad site as unfortunately coyotes got there first! The damage was severe. Another lesson that these days in our area a hunter risks losing a wounded or dead deer to coyotes if he chooses not to track at night.
Jolanta Jeanneney > We marked the blood and called John with Billy. This time we were very optimistic about finding this buck. This new blood trail was not disturbed by us or another dog and in the very thick cover Billy should not have problems with following it. We were right! Now Billy was pulling with great strength and acted very sure of himself.
Jolanta Jeanneney > While John was working with Billy, the hunter and I decided to look a bit to the right of the track - the only direction not explored yet. We were successful and found more blood at the edge of another golden rod field.
Jolanta Jeanneney > It was not an easy task for Billy to track through the terrain already trampled by three people and one dog. I was getting a bit discouraged as we could not find more blood and advance the trail. I could not believe that the deer, which was bleeding so much, all of sudden would stop leaving any blood behind.
As we followed the trail, we found numerous spots of blood.
