    No beds yet. Still haven't made it to the timber. Losing daylight

    About 10 years ago I helped track one hit in the leg. He ran forever and bedded. We found him alive in a brush pile. The hunter who'd shot him day before put a kill shot on him in his bed. The more blood the better. You never know.

    Sounds like that buck is still alive, and much the wiser!

    I'm certain that if he is still alive I will get pictures of him again soon

    Why are encouraging him to give up so easily?

    Since it’s been 5 days, I would say the encouragement part is a non issue...

    Why push the buck to the next property?

    His story says the deer is still alive.

    Bummer man. I think the deer is alive. Good try on the recovery. Hope you run into him again.

    He still hasn't shown back up on any of the cameras but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I would have called in a tracking dog but i have none close and it just wasn't in the budget.

    A good tracking dog and handler will not charge you... I don't know what state your hunting in but more then 3/4 of them is actually illegal for a tracker to charge for tracking a deer...
