We helped a hunter find this nice buck last night with the coyotes howling not too far away.

This post isn't a mechanical vs fixed debate. Not a lot of details about the shot. Simply intended to show that a single lung shot isnt always a kill shot.

The coyotes are worse every year. We found these remains after the deer laid overnight

The season is off to a slow start. We’ve unsuccessfully tracked two high shoulder shots so far. Be cautious of those shoulder blades. They are tough! The expression “hit ‘em high, wave goodbye” is an accurate statement.

We found this deer Saturday morning for this young hunter. It was his first deer and a great recovery for a great family. The family hadn’t searched ahead of the last blood which made the track easy for the dog.

I’m not great at posting but this is was our last track of the 2021 season. Good luck to all and if you aren’t sure of your hit, back out and give us a call even if it’s just to discuss how to proceed with your track. Good luck!

Found a 17 hour old gut shot buck today. This is her 3rd find of the season. The hunter backed out after he saw the hit which allowed the deer to bed within 300 yards and the track wasn’t tainted with blood from the hunters boots.

The season is off like a rocket, we had family obligations last weekend but took two tracks on Sunday. The first was a gut shot buck that we track for close to a half mile before running into a property line. The hunter was able to gain permission and Vt/ny leashed tracking service was able to recover the buck on Monday morning.
The second was a doe that had the intestines blocking the exit hole. There was minimal blood but the dog was able to take us right to her in just a few mins. I took bad pictures that night!
Shoot straight but give us a call if you need help.

We helped recover this 8 pointer last night in Melrose. 12 hours after the shot and the blood was not visible since the snow had melted.
