Wow, good work on finding that deer 3/4 of a mile away! That is a tough find, given a gut shot leaves very little, if any blood. Huge teams of people looking for a lost person have had less success than that. How did you manage to find it that far away?
We let her sit over night and started checking every stream and pond we could think of the next morning.
We have not lost a deer in over 10 years due to our search groups we have set up with all the neighbors. They call us when they need help and we call them.
