We had a productive night tailgating 4 deer!
The first 2 were public land deer and one being the hunters biggest buck! Congrats Scott! We then flew our drone for the 4th time this deer and he was finally expired. Congrars Ben!! Our last one was this young hunter’s first bow buck! Congrats Braxton! #93 #94 #95 #96

Been a long day but here’s a mid day update. The first track we were able to help Jaxon on his first bow buck! He made a liver shot and they jumped the buck last night. We picked him up where he went into a thicket and it wasn’t long and Sway was standing over his buck! Congrats buddy you’re 2-2nwirh the Muckdog’s crew helping on your first 2 bucks!

Our second deer we jumped over a 1000 yds in and I think this is a deer we can recover provided we can get permission. The shot was unknown but blood in 3 beds would indicate a mid body shot.

Track 3 was Ike taking a track over a half mile through 5 beds then eventually losing interest. We came in and flew the drone and found the buck bedded tending a doe 300 yds or so from where Ike didn’t want him any longer.

Track 4 we took a spinal shock track and Sway tracked to a property line and with multiple attempts couldn’t get a hold of the landowner so we called the track.

Track 5 we check back now 2x today on a buck shot yesterday morning and he’s still bedded in the same spot and it looks to be intestinal. We will keep checking back on him.

We have 3 more tracks tonight yet and some for tomorrow already as well. It’s good time to be in the woods! Yesterday while tracking we had a doe come through being chased. Y 4 different bucks! They had zero cares that we were in the woods..

A busy day turned into a busy night! 2 more tailgated and another located with the drone that we will be back for in the morning and hopefully a recovery on that one as well. All of these hunters handled their post shot routines to perfection making for deer that are or were in their first beds! Congrats to Tommy on your biggest bow buck and congrats to Zac on a public land buck! #90 #91

What’s more fun than trekking through a nasty swamp after midnight? Finding a dandy buck behind your dog! Congrats Tim on a beautiful buck! Shot ended up slightly back and this buck did some twists and turns over 500 yds before expiring. Our 3rd tailgated deer of the day! #87

****Milestone Alert****
This afternoon Sway achieved a milestone that is not often seen in the tracking world. She hit 500 career recoveries. She’s 6 years old and it took her 950 tracks to do so which is even more amazing for an on lead state. While she’s far from perfect her drive to recover an animal and work is unmatched. She simply doesn’t quit…her persistence allows her to sort out tracks that a lot of other dogs would quit on. The miles I’ve walked behind her are countless and she’s simply a once in 10 lifetimes type dog. I’m so blessed to own her. I cannot thank the KBGS, Matt Wilkes, and Eric Johnson enough for the opportunity to have her!
Now to the details of the track. We got a call from good friend Ross McVey that his fiancé Morgan arrowed her very fist deer and thought she made a great shot but they were just having trouble finding blood. We showed up 21 hrs post shot and put Sway to work. At their point of loss the deer actually took a 120 cut back and headed out of the thicket into an open hardwoods. From there we were up and down ravines through a thick draw of berry brush and back to hardwoods..then down a forest road and cutting back into a nasty swamp for several hundred yards ended up in a creek. Over 1600 yds this buck traveled..one thing is for certain if Sway wants to continue tracking and we have permission I am following her. The shot entered perfect and hit a rib and glanced exiting back quite far. No chance this deer is ever seen again by a human without an extremely determined tracking dog. Congrats Morgan on your very first deer we are so excited for you!! #86

Dan and Ike got after it this am for this 86 yr old hunter! The shot was unknown but ended up being hit back and Ike made short work of it! They were also on another that was non lethal. I flew the drone this am and located one alive that looks like its non lethal as well We have some big news to share regarding another track taken today.. #85

2 of our 3 tracks we initially booked for today went and found their deer out ahead of us…that threw a wrench into our schedule but we still did 3 tracks and recovered 1. That recovery was for a hunter who was 79 “1/2” years old! He thought the shot looked good but his arrow indicated he should wait to track. Unfortunately the coyotes beat us to it but Sway wasted no time tracking several hundred yards to this buck! Congrats to the hunter! Ike will be put to work on a couple tonight so stay tuned! #84

Just when I think I’ve seen this dog’s best work she out does herself. This track was a referral from Josh Wittman a fellow tracker thanks Josh much appreciated! This track was 52 hrs old and had been searched for for 2 days with a drone with no luck. The hunter had tracked for 700 yds and came to a dead end. Turns out this buck backtracked and split out of the creek bottom. Once he did that he crossed a field that had manure tilled in after the deer was shot then crossed a fenceline into a plowed field. He continued 800 yds across plowed field and was expired in a small patch of grass in the middle of a seemingly endless plowed field. 1100 yds from the hunters point of loss.. Truly remarkable dog work. Congrats Wes on a great buck and I commend your dedication to finding this animal!! #83.

Hammer alert! We got a call about this buck last night stating the hunter hit his target buck slightly back. We wanted to play it safe and look with drone since the area was favorable for it. In under a minute we had this buck located! Hit was liver. Congrats to our hunter on a hammer of an 8 pt!
We jumped the next buck with Sway and will follow up later tonight or tomorrow as I think it’s likely a fatal shot.
A couple more yet to go today so stay tuned!

A late night canoe ride and Sway has us standing over the 3rd recovery today. The shot angled and the deers body language said we should give him some time. Sway tracked right to a scent pool and we circled for probably 15 min with the thermals carrying this deer’s scent over 100 yds from where he was laying. I just kept saying he has to be right here somewhere she’s standing on her hind legs air scenting and is frantic. Finally I saw that tail wag and signature prance and we were standing over this deer. Congrats to the hunter on a well deserved buck! #81

Check in the buck from last night and he’s bedded 13 yds from where he was yesterday and it looks like he has a wound on his elbow..im going to check on him again tonight or tomorrow.
Second track the deer looped back and was found 60 yds from where it was shot.. this deer lived nearly 3 days with an intestinal shot. Just amazingly tough animals.
Third track was another masterpiece of a track. Sway took this buck 1760 yds which included the buck coming to a blacktop road and taking the road for 400 yds before crossing(confirmed blood drops on road), then cutting a swamp edge and down a 2 track lane for another 400 then into a river where he was expired downstream on the other bank 75 yds. So thankful for the neighboring landowners allowing us to continue the track and recover this buck! #79 #80
