Idk how this little s # # # knows when we’re going tracking. But he’s absolutely jacked the whole way there 😂

So today we get out of the truck, hitch the dog up, and mosey back into the woods. Hunter says she was standing right about here, about that time blaze is already at work.

3 min and 50 sec later. We got a deer!

Coyotes snacked a little. And I was confused by the chest being chewed on. A fellow tracker tells me that’s almost always a bear when they start in the middle like that.

We will probably never know. But what we do know is that this 3rd year bow hunter finally got his first chance at letting an arrow fly! And we were absolutely willing to take a run at it.

His shot wasn’t terrible at all Just lacking blood to follow is what had him asking for Blaze.

Congrats Jonah! Now get up there and get another one 😎

FB likes to hide our recoveries so hopefully a couple stickers will slide this one by 😂

Check the box! This female Hunter took the shot last night around 6 PM, her husband was on the video camera. Shot placement was very far back.
It was her first archery deer ever. I will tell you that I don’t think there’s a single tracker out there that can say no to that scenario.

We ran this one approximately 150 yards to its first bed, after instructing the Hunter to not attempt a search last night.

The deer was not expired, and blaze was chomping at the bit to get back on it.

We gave it a little bit longer and decided to get back on it, resulting in a recovery. The initial jump, the deer was definitely not moving very good. And we knew that it wouldn’t be very long.

The only thing that got this deer recovered was the Hunter and her husband not grid searching and looking for this deer.

Wait times are extremely important when the shot is not exactly ideal.

Congratulations on your first archery deer!!

Thanks for having us out

Blaze brought home the big W on opening weekend and put another buck on the tailgate!

Total distance was approximately 800 yards for this Dalbo buck.

Congratulations, David!

Everybody that’s headed out tomorrow….
Shoot straight, be safe, have fun, and dodge the skeeters!!

If the need arises to where you need a dog, blaze is being a belligerent A Hole and could use a little time on a track or 17.

Only thing more fun than tracking, is retrieving 😂

Blaze was at it again. This buck was shot at around 9 am yesterday. The hunter found the blood picture below and only a little more hardly past here. He didn’t know a direction to go and knew that he might mess up a dog if he grid searched.
Blaze tracked us approximately 150-180 yards pint into the swamp. Blood. Blood. More blood. All of a sudden blaze just seemed like he was off 30 yards after finding blood. I actually called out “he missed a corner”. I let him run it a little ways further and see if he could grab a line. Nothing

Quick resed to a known line and a birch tree I could remember because I accidentally deleted our onx track. The “dry ground” that birch was on was this bucks spot to lay up.

We walked right by it. And even had blood past it on 2 occasions. Blaze missed a double back it appears. And I called it. I just didn’t pick up on the double back thing and thought it was a missed turn.

When we found it we called the hunter over. He stood within 4’ of this deer and didn’t see it.

Without a dog, this deer would have never been recovered. You almost had to step on it to see it. When I saw the blood trail picture I figured it would be an easy one. It wasn’t. But the hunter backing out is really what got this deer recovered.

Meet our new friend, Ethan. He saw this buck while sitting with his dad yesterday. And dad’s eyes didn’t work as good as Ethan’s. Because dad didn’t see it till 5 min after Ethan did. Fast forward to the after shot. Blood was thinning. Rain was falling. And tracking was becoming an impossible task.
We raced home from deer hunting to get to tracking. And headed to Ethan.

Blaze covered 300-350 yards in minutes, resulting in a recovery.

Congratulations to this little guy on his FIRST BUCK! It’ll make a fine Euro mount, young man!

If we could track for kids every day we’d do just that! Awesome shot, good track, and a big ol smile. Great night in Harris, MN

Tonight’s track was interesting. Hunter shot a doe from in the woods out into a grassy clearing. Every time we start a track Blaze seems to circle the hit location till he decides which way the deer went.

This time was no different. Except he just wouldn’t hit the line in the right direction. This had me wondering if the hunter walked the direction blaze wanted to go.

Next thing you know, 90 degrees to the right of the right line… up jumps a little fork buck.

It took a little bit to get blaze off the buck and back to tracking. Into the woods we go. 90 to the right. Instantly I knew he was still fixated on the buck. So, I let him run it out. So we could get back to tracking.

All of a sudden we found blood. And more blood. And more. Next thing you know we circled right to where the buck was bedded. And found blood in the bed.

We’ve now established two things. I didn’t trust blaze and I should have. I trusted the hunter and shouldn’t have. Blaze was so fired on that buck and just couldn’t get past it. And I should have known there was a reason for it.

Continued the track for closure and show the hunter we didn’t have a dead deer. Off we go. All the way in a circle, under his stand, back to just about the beginning of the track and south through the timber and into a swamp. At that point we called off the track.

Pick your shots carefully and please please try and ID your deer before taking the shot. Accidents happen, and that’s why we’re here. But finding out a doe was actually a buck was a first for us.

Hey there hunters. Just wanted to let everyone know we’re going to take a break from tracking from October 29th through November 3rd so we can get in a bow stand and do a little hunting ourselves. We’ve got some friends flying in from out of state 🌴 🏖️ and we’re showing them the ways of MN 🍁 🦌 .

As you’ve probably seen before. Here’s a list and map of other trackers in the state and even into WI

Before and after those dates we’d love to come give you some assistance if needed. If you need assistance landing a tracker, reach out to me or use the TRAKR App!

Happy hunting and good luck!
