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.

I tracked one last year in freezing weather north of Palmetto for a guy, his son shot the evening before. The "president" of the club would not let me start the track until 9am so we would not bother any other hunters. At 1pm, I pulled the dog off since we had gone over 1 mile w/o any blood sign at all. Looked at the GPS and we were 2.8 miles from where we started. No recovery, but a buck was shot the next weekend on the same club w/ a bullet wound to the front of the chest, shaped like a half-moon. No proof it was the same deer, but I can only assume that was it and the hunter said the rack looked the same. So almost 20 hours later he was still trailing a deer that had been wounded - he earned a biscuit that day!
