Recon made a nice recovery on a gut shot doe today . The doe was shot last evening , the arrow clipped a vey small branch that deflected it towards the rear of the body . So when this happens we wait at least 10+ hours before tracking . If we do this we usually recover them .
But Mother Nature threw a 1-2. Punch with a 1” or better rain to wash away all visible sign . Lucky for us there is still plenty of scent on this type of hit .
Recon was able to follow the scent at 18 hours later ,600 yards through heavy cover to the deer. The deer was partially eaten by a coyote or bobcat though .
