Long Blood Trails

I am and fat and tired and broke. No one told a 2 and 5 year old boys would be tougher than a Paradise Swamp Rooter on swampchestnuts. You holding up alright?

I ounce shot a doe and she went 400 or so yards. The bloodtrail was one of the best i have seen and yet she was still alive when we finally caught up with her. I have noticed that whitails have different wiils to live, some just give up while others will make you work.

Several years back my brother shot a buck up in the UP.  The thing turned on the shot and he caught a hard quartering forward shot. Tipped a lung, liver, guts and broke his back femur.  Good blood most of the way.  Tracked that deer over a mile, the last 60 yards there was not a drop of blood to be found.  There was almost no blood in that thing when we gutted him.  One of my most memorable trailing jobs and very rewarding in the end. dino
