Sounds like you had as much fun killing the song dog as you did that deer LOL!

Ya know, I think I did lol. Firsts are always fun.

Well, I guess they don't all drop in sight lol. Was fun tracking him the 100-150 yards. I'm begining too not like the slick tricks. Damn things don't start bleeding until 50 yards after the hit. Did the same with that doe.

Grim reapers are the way to go

How do you not get blood out of holes like this.

No idea man. The doe I shot didn't go 80 yards and piled up but there was no blood at the impact and didn't see blood for a good distance after the shot. The yote had blood at impact and then I had just small specks and didn't get good blood for probably 50 yards. After it started spilling I was able to follow it pretty good but that first 50 yards are a bitch.

Adam if you were hunting from the ground and not elevated say like shooting down hill the angle is more level and the blood will take longer too show up sometimes....

I'm sure that has something to do with it. Hitting mid height on the ribs straight through takes a little to fill up and pour out and they usually don't go much further after that. I will say though the ST for being as small BH does put some good size holes in um lol.

If an animal is at a dead sprint after the shot it takes a ton of blood to lay down a heavier trail during that run. And that's a good point also about the angle.

Never seen a critter run as fast after being shot as that yote did. Sucker spun on a dime and took off like a drag car launching off the line lol. I guess it wasn't all bad since I got to put my tracking skills to some use. Other then that doe I shot at Taylor's I haven't had to do much trailing in a few years. I think the last time I had to trail anything was with Dave on that buck a couple years ago.
