childers I give you the benafit of the doubt that everything youre saying is true, so maybe you should let your dad know that what he did was more than just a little wrong,and if youre going to hunt together there are things that you never ever do and things that you always do.If he takes off without you to track it what are you supposed to do? Stay anyway and wait? Tackle him? No you did what everyone else here would have done,complain about it but go with him anyway and hope the deer has expired by the time you get there.remember that if you see a thick rediculous place where you dont want to go,thats a good place to look for a deer,he will not die in the middle of the trail.Good luck tomorrow and lets see some pics when you find him,hes dead right now.
