RE: Every shot......Version III
Good luck with the search GMMAT. Been reading up on the other posts and truly hope things work out this go 'round. Aren't you up in PA? Hell, if you are (and i could be WAYYYY off) and it wasn't too far.. I'd be more than willing to help a fellow HN'er search for a downed deer.
Keep us posted.

RE: Every shot......Version III
2:24 and I'm back home without my doe.
We found a spray of blood at the POI. We found a few drops on either side of the trail I thought she took.....then nothing. We picked her trail up about 40 yds away......when she got to an old logging road. We found 2 drops, there. She had three choices from there......and I can't tell which way she went. If she sent straight.....she'd have had to go through a fence crossing. No blood at the crossing. If she went left....she'd be going uphill towards a horse pasture. if she went down hill......she'd be heading back "home". I've been out there for almost 5 hours......4 of those with my Labrador retriever. I had to get her home...she was parched....and I'm exhausted. i was up at 5:00 this morning (Tues) in Richmond, VA. I'm going to sleep for three hours and go back.
I can not for the life of me understand the lack of blood. I have shot Muzzy's for the best part of a year.....and to be honest....the blood trail's never been great. I'm sorry....just thinking out loud. I'll report back in the morning.
