After that, I went back to the old method of "the nose knows" and leave him on it so he can sort it out. If it is dead, he will find it!!!!

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.
