Lapeer County Deer Tracking

11/16/2025

Hunter called this morning and we set to run at 10:30 took us 57 minutes and 1.4 miles to get this dead deer, the strong winds seemed to mess with Huck but we got the deer on the tailgate in the end!

This hunter did everything right to make the perfect track, blood got spotty and he thought he shot a little far back so he pulled off the blood immediately and called us. We set up a time and headed out to have us a quick and easy 20 minute dead deer, beautiful buck and a great liver shot.

We got a call that a hunter shot a buck, he had also shot another buck around the same time it was the perfect shot found in 100 yards. While trying to locate the second buck no evidence, no arrow or blood Huck kept pulling and put us on an insane 700 yard circle with blood going in every direction and finally took us to a deer but it was a doe to find out another hunter lost his doe the same night. Two deer down, we finally determined 3 hours in that the second buck was alive and well. This was definitely one for the books.

Lola had a slow start to the season, 0-3 .. I told felow local track and good friend Dave Gates I needed a good one.

The tracks I took due to lack of time have been low odds, and I knew it.

Well we found a good one, we ran both dogs Cheri and Lola ..

Towards the end Dave and Cheri backed off and let me and Lola go, he felt like she was on it.

Lola jumped it about a mile in.

We backed out and waited 10-20 minutes for everything to settle down and went back in.

We walked up to still alive but not wanting to move anymore. It was a gut shot, shot this morning and still alive about 14 hours later.

Got a call that his daughter shot a buck yesterday morning with a cross bow. The shot was quartering towards. They gave the deer an hour and went out tracking, found what looked to be gut matter stopped at 250 yards due to loss of blood. We set up to be out at 8pm the same night. Huck advanced blood by 200 yards, it was late at night, everyone’s lights were going out so we decided to put a pause and resume the following morning. We set huck on the last blood we advanced and he immediately stuck his head up air scenting and that’s when I knew he had it, 40 yards from where we stopped the previous night was the her first beautiful Buck! Congratulations!

Team Jill & Huck once again didn’t disappoint! Josh with the assist on this one, he took over for the last 100 yard dash to this hunters dead buck!

The hunter thought it was gut, ended up being liver, kidney and one lung.

The deer ran 450 yards, with one bed at 80 yards, the last 200 yards we had zero sign.

Sometimes it only takes a phone call and little bit of luck ..

Hunter calls and tells the story, brisket shot! Based on the blood I told him to wait and hope that the buck bleeds out and we will come in the morning.

I get a text first thing AM, the hunter says the neighbor sees the buck beaded down, still alive but can’t move.

We were right, over 24 hours later the buck was still alive ..

This hunter was able to put the finish on him and didn’t even need the dog, just some rock solid advice to back out and let it die!
