I found a deer shoulder the other morning on the road in my deer hunting area that was gnawed down to the joint. It looks like coyotes are very good trackers too. I don't know if this deer was shot or not. I didn't shoot it. My bud, who is a big deer hunter, told me that coyotes can make easy kills when it is so cold if they can find a bedded deer. Sounds like I should do some predator hunting. I've heard coyote hunting is much harder than deer hunting. Hope it ain't no cougar. There are lots of coyote tracks around but I have not even seen one yet. I used to hear them a lot but not lately.

seems like if the deer stayed in the same area he was hit the night before, he's hurt bad enough to die.

sorry yall didn't find it

Thats my neck of the woods and where I hunt. Big deer in that area for sure and tough traking in the palmettos and briar cutovers.

Sweet, I'm definately gonna give it a try with him. I'll only be able to make one more hunt this season but I will try him out next season.

Just start to bring him with u to the deer camp. Keep him around when u cleaning deer. i bring mine to the cleaning rack with me and let him just cover himself in the blood and stuff when someone cleaning one. he goes crazy and literally covers himself in blood. sounds crazy but i really think it works!

When I lived in Arkansas I used my dachsund to track deer. But the best tracking dog I ever saw was a stray mutt that lived in my friend's culvert. Man could that dog find a deer! I guess when you don't get fed every day and someone plops you down on a blood trail you have a little motivation!

I remember reading a good article 20 years ago about how to pick a good blood trailing dog. The writer said to take a piece of meat and drag it across the floor. Then take a whole litter of new pups and place them on the trail. Some of the pups will act like nothing's there. If you find one that runs over the others following the trail, that's the one you want!!! Evidently they either have it or they don't. Good luck!
