Frank shot a doe this morning. He was facing east and had a little difficulty with the bright light as he turned the arrow loose. He sent me a message that he thought he hit her mid ship and a little high. Initially, we were going to give her a couple of hours. However, when he recovered the arrow, it was bright red. Zoey was waiting in the truck so we decided to put her on the track off lead, just in case the doe was still up. The trail started in planted pines and went to a fescue patch that had a lot of dew on it. The trail then went back into the planted pines. In the video, you can see Zoey backtrack a couple of times. I think she either lost the track or just wanted some re-assurance. I left Frank and his nephew and just started following Zoey, but she left me pretty quickly. I then started watching my gps. She was only 43 or so yards away, but I could not see her at all. She wasn't moving so I just made straight for her. You can see me walking up and loving on her for such hard work.
If nothing else, just watch her nose working even when she's running. She loves tracking more than anything else. She was shivering with excitement this morning when I was putting her vest and collar on.
Hope you guys enjoy seeing what she went through finding this doe.
The shot ended up catching in front of the diaphragm but was high, like he thought. That kept the blood to a minimum and just goes to show you how much quicker a dog can track compared to us.
