    Take a deep breath and enjoy these moments. Shake the jitters off just for a second and focus.

    This happened to a buddy last year when we were tracking. We walked right passed the deer and didnt know it. So make sure you look up every now and then . Like said above.

    He probably walked by it and didnt know. My buddies deer last year circled and we walked passed it a couple times we were confused too. So he might have just passee it.

    So the trail was a dead end at the bed? Or did it just make a circle?
