Yeh mine did that Friday. Starting veering right when I knew the deer went left, but I didn't say anything. He takes a few more steps and stops, sticks his nose in the air and does a 180 and is on top of the deer in a few seconds. And yes, if it is dead he will find it. Every deer I have trailed with him that I or the person I am trailing for knew it was a good shot, we have found.
