Great deer!  The process may not have been how you wanted it, but the result was.  Glad that you stuck with it and recovered the deer.

Congrats on a beautiful buck Whip!  I made a poor shot on a doe (and felt sick just like you!) earlier this year but was able to recover her the following morning.  I did the same as you after the shot... went home and read some articles.  Mine was gut shot and called for letting her bed overnight.   I never knew that pushing a deer that had been muscle shot was the right approach.  So.. thanks for sharing all the details and learned lessons!

Joe the mere fact that you worked the track that hard and tried your best tells me all I needed to know. Congrats on the great deer, bad track or not. Pet that dog man!

Great job on the recovery, Joe!   As a true sportsman I know that you never want to see an animal suffer, but I know you are damn proud of your pup.  The consistent work that you have put into training him has paid off handsomely.  Good job, buddy!

Argo does look very proud of himself in the pic as well he should be. Not all hits are great, do our best not to make a poor hit but we are flinging sharp sticks at live animals from a distance and a poor hit is gonna happen. Really awesome how you handled that whole hit - and Arlo too!!

You did the deer great justice by your actions and recovery.

Way to stick with it Joe! Never a doubt that you would do all that you could. Glad to see that it had a happy ending for you.
Give Arlo a few extra treats tonight.

Glad it worked out for you, I know how sick you can feel seeing an injured animal run off. Congrats
