Matt shot this buck following a doe on Halloween night. It was also raining that night. Matt saw gut content on his arrow and there was no sign to be seen on the ground, so he wisely backed out and called for assistance. We met the next morning and while searching for the exact place the buck was standing when shot, Timber put his belly to the ground and threw a fit to get going. He confirmed the shot site and was 💯 committed to the line. Timber showed us 2 spots of blood before showing us the expired buck behind a blow down. The buck was more quartered to than Matt recalled. Matt did everything correct, which led to his buck in his hands in just 8 minutes. Congratulations on an awesome public land buck Matt! Thank you for letting us be part of your recovery!

Happy Howloween!!

Steven shot this buck quartered toward him and watched the buck run a short distance and bed down. About an hour later the buck got up and walked into some thick grasses out of site. Steven quietly exited his stand and waited 6 hours before attempting to track. He was only able to follow blood 40 yards and marked the end of the trail and called for assistance. We agreed to give the deer the bare minimum 12 hours and Steven spent his time securing extra property permission in case it was needed. Note the hunter doing everything right, which led to a dog locating his deer in 13 minutes. Rip was anxious to get going at the hit site and doesn’t have a great poker face at the hit site for whether a shot is lethal or not 😆. He followed the direction Steven was able to visually watch the deer and took us into the super thick grasses and back out into a cut lane, then zig zagged the field and paralleled a creek trail where he stopped at a scape and showed me some gut material. The deer had worked the scrape before his death! After we worked past the scrape, Rip’s pace became even faster as he ran straight down the trail, then hooked left through a small section of woods and back into the thick grasses where the deer’s final bed lay. Congratulations on a great archery buck Steven and thank you for letting us be part of your recovery!

Lee shot this buck the night prior to our arrival and knew he hit forward. His arrow broke and he thought he maybe had about 8” of penetration. He was only able to track very minimal blood about 30 yards and decided to call for assistance. It was 3am before I could get to his message and I needed some sleep. I let him know I’d follow up after some rest. We were able to meet up with Lee late morning and the temperature and midday winds were already high. Rip took off across the side of the ridge parallel to a dry creek bed. After about 70 yards I saw him level up with the opposite ridge and stick his nose straight up in the air. I commanded him back to work! He went back to the line and progressed along the ridge, then turned left and took off like a rocket to the bottom of the creek bed where he showed us a pool of blood. We marked the spot and he pulled us up the opposite side, then took an immediate left turn and ran full speed across the ridge to the piled up deer. Although he had limited penetration, Lee’s shot hit the forward position of both lungs. Congratulations on a great public land deer Lee and thanks for making us part of your recovery.

Deer position: broadside
Pass through: yes
Shot: Double lung and heart
Age of track: 13 hours
Length of track: 600 yards

Phillip called not long after his shot. He was aiming right behind the shoulder and for the heart. He was able to track blood for 200 yards before the trail went to nothing. We agreed to meet early the next am. Rip took off like a rocket at the hit site and followed the blood trail the exact same 200 yards that the hunter had. He continued down the ridge for another 325 yards and slowed, checking several directions, then headed straight down to the dry creek bed. He stopped and showed us what I call the Biden face. He was off the line. We had been a long way with no additional sign. Phillip said he didn’t think it looked good. I questioned if maybe he hit lower or the brisket, but the bolt had no signs of a brisket hit. It looked perfect. We decided to head back to last confirmed blood for a restart. As we climbed the ridge about 75 yards, Rip caught me off guard and bolted to the right toward a drainage. I went after him yelling and thinking the lead was caught because he wasn’t listening to my command to return to me. Phillip commented, “I hope he’s on my deer.” Sure enough as I fumbled the lead, I realized it was loose and the dog wasn’t moving. He was on the deer in the drainage ditch. He had missed a left turn in the last 75 yards of the line. Unbelievably, the deer was hit perfect on entry and exit. Autopsy confirmed the heart and both lungs were completely severed by the broadhead. The deer had death ran 600 yards and face planted all the way down the drainage. He quit leaving blood on the ground after 200 yards. These animals are resilient and you just never know. This deer would have been difficult to locate even with birds and potentially lost forever without a dog. Congratulations Phillip and thanks for making us part of your recovery! What a fun and eye opening track!

A huge congratulations to Liza Ann Spalding on her first deer!!

Weapon: Crossbow
Broadhead: G5 Mega Meat
Deer position: Broadside
Shot: Rear lung, stomach, liver
Age of track: 4.5 hours
Length of track: 250 yards

Liza Ann has decided she’d like to deer hunt. She wished to use her compound bow, but at age 6, her mini Genesis doesn’t produce quite enough energy, so she settled to learn the crossbow. Fall break just began, so it was the perfect time to get a sit in. Within minutes of setup and before we could even get the snacks ready, a doe appeared within 25 yards. She was feeding facing us and Liza Ann waited for what seemed like forever for her to turn perfectly broadside. Once she got the pins lined up I told her it was okay to squeeze the trigger. We watched the doe run about 35-40 yards and enter the woods. We could see the bolt in the ground and knew she got a pass through. I checked the bolt and initially thought maybe liver, but it was covered in so much dirt it was truly hard to tell. We sat until dark hoping to maybe get a shot at a buck too. When we looked in the field we didn’t locate blood. We walked to the edge of the woods and didn’t see the deer, so we went home to get Rip. Rip is Liza Ann’s dog and she was excited about him tracking her deer. He took off like a rocket and entered the woods, zig zagging back and forth, then reentered the field further down. I doubted him and opted for a restart. We still hadn’t seen any blood after 100 yards. We restarted and he went the same way, then before she reentered the woods he showed us a spray of bright red blood. Now I was not feeling so hot about her shot. Once we were back in the woods, he took us to a pool of blood where I noticed some gritty material in bright red blood. Now I was nervous with a 6 year old on one hand and a crazy puppy on a lead in the other. I feared she may be still alive and the terrain was becoming more challenging. I stopped and tried to get Liza Ann to return to stay back with an adult while I finished the track. She wasn’t having it and didn’t want to hold my hand anymore. She could walk by herself 😂. We proceeded with caution and a short and tight lead. Luckily Rip showed us the expired doe in a blow down at the 250 yard mark. Liza Ann didn’t hesitate to dive right in and check out her harvest. She even held her legs while I field dressed. She also demanded a photo of her and her dog ALONE 😆. She was highly upset when we opted to place the doe in a cooler for the night until we can make it to the processor today. She expected we’d take it home and put it on the wall NOW. We’ll work on getting her buck tag filled next. She’s super excited and ready to do it all again! What a feeling!

Thanks to Kygunco for getting us all setup for this experience. Bryce WallaceDaniel Switzer

Final closure for a track we ran 17 days ago!! These deer are tough.

We teamed up with Charlie Lowther on this track 17 days ago. The hunter shot the deer quartered to and facing uphill of him with his compound bow and the beast broadhead (spring loaded mechanical 2.3 inch cut). He hit the deer mid body and waited until the following am to take up the blood trail. When he ran out of blood he called for assistance. Charlie used a special wipe and confirmed gut material on the arrow. We entered around the 29 hour mark to assist on the track. Timber took the line to the 0.5 mile mark and showed us a large place of blood. He hit a scent pool in the steep bottom and circled frequently. Little did we know the deer was bedded in a cedar thicket on top of the hill above us 0.7 miles from the shot site. Once Timber began searching, we returned to the located blood and restarted. This time he took a hard left and led us uphill, then took a right into a thick overgrown field and approached a cedar thicket when my headlamp caught his eyes. He slowly got up and walked off. We located the bed where he laid in the thicket and confirmed it was him with two golf ball size pools of blood. We marked the spot and backed out. We returned 24 hours later and tried to pick up his trail. Timber did a ton of searching but never took a line. I felt the deer would expire with time and advised to monitor cameras and watch for birds. The hunter watched for birds daily and returned to the woods 9 days later to retrieve his hat he left while we were originally tracking. To his surprise, he jumped the deer again near our original line and was able to catch a photo of him as he slowly walked away. See photo with entry wound highlighted. Today, 17 days post shot, the birds gave him up. The entry hole was low behind the rear of the ribs and exit was unable to be determined due to coyote damage on the exit side. We’ve been in touch with the hunter several times trying to close the story on this buck. It’s not the outcome we wished for, but this buck still had a lot of life in him when tracked. It’s amazing how resilient these animals are. We’re happy the hunter now has closure and his buck.

Eric called soon after his shot and was luckily the first of 4 calls for the evening. He was unsure of his shot and thought maybe he hit mid body and possibly low. He could only see the buck run for about 20 yards and did not locate his arrow. He wisely backed out of the area for us to formulate a plan. We advised to give the buck time and planned to start after the 24 hour mark. Enter tropical storm Helene….we knew we’d have some weather to combat. I opted to let Timber run the line due to the heavy winds. In normal circumstances this is an easy track for Timber, one he can usually complete in 5-6 minutes. After 3 inches of rain with no end in sight and winds over 30 mph, this made for some tough work. There would be no sign to confirm work either. Timber took off on the line and located the arrow 45 yards in. It was intact and clean from all the rain. We were unsure of why it didn’t pass through at the shot site. We marked what would be our only evidence. At this point Timber ran uphill taking a right turn, then back down taking a left turn, trying to determine direction. He committed to the left turn heading down the hill. In hindsight sight, this made sense due to all the scent being washed downhill and ponding below. However, we learned later this turn was incorrect. He took us for a long run, and began searching for the line as he circled us back toward the hit site. Since we were approaching our start position, we opted to return to the recovered arrow location for a restart. Timber was very hyper upon restart and we watered and tried to get him to calm. I gave him the command to find the line as he frantically circled and he then took the right turn up the hill. He was casting heavily and pulling hard, ping ponging along the line until we hit a pool of ankle deep water ponded toward the bottom. He did his normal dunk and drink and then spent some time with his nose in a section of the water. He typically does this when he wants to show me sign, but in this case there was nothing to be seen. After several moments of focusing on this ponded water, he advanced forward and Eric’s friend Jim began catching a scent. Not long after, Timber showed us this impressive buck. This track was extremely demanding for Timber and an emotional rollercoaster for the rest of us. Congratulations on this amazing buck Eric! We couldn’t be more happy for you. Thanks for trusting us with your recovery and making us part of your story.

A huge congratulations to Nick Stowe on his awesome KY buck!!

Weapon: Crossbow

Deer position: slight quarter to
Shot entry: low stomach
Shot exit: low intestines
Pass through: yes
Age of track: 24 hours
Length of track: 400 yards

Nick and his dad, Mark Stowe, have been watching this deer for over two years and he really blew up this season, gaining over 20 inches of antler. The deer had been consistent for over 50 days and Nick had been practicing for his opportunity. Due to his busy schedule, he was rarely able to hunt early season until now. Timber has helped Mark in the past, so when the shot was made, Nick’s dad called us immediately to get a place in our schedule in the event we’d be needed. Rain had also started falling and was expected to be heavy for the next 24 hours. After waiting over an hour, Nick and Mark checked the bolt and noticed a small drop of blood near the broadhead and gut material. They immediately backed out and we generated a plan. Nick had seen the buck enter the woods and stop, then disappear over the hill. We were unsure of how far back the entry may be and the height of the shot. We opted for a 24 hour wait time and it was a long, anxious 24 hours for all. Upon arrival, I anticipated Mark would prefer Timber run the line due to his familiarity with his work, however Mark was at a sporting event and would join us asap. Nick was cool as a cucumber and I gave him the option of dog, and he was cool with either. I opted to give Rip the experience and myself the challenge since there would be no sign to check his work after the heavy rains. Before I could even give him his tracking command, Rip took off on the line, entering the woods and running toward a high spot on the hill that overlooked the surrounding terrain and stuck his nose straight up in the air. He already had the deer on his radar. He needed to take the actual line, especially with the terrain we were about to encounter. I firmly redirected him back to work. He stalled and I redirected him firmly again. He ran back toward the hit site and then took a hard left and took off on the line at a moderate speed. We were in thick blow downs with plenty of spots for the buck to hide. We crossed an ATV trail, and Rip continued, picking up the line and reentering the thick vegetation, which is not always his strong suit. After cresting a hill, I thought I caught a smell of the buck and at this point Rip started pulling and running like a mad man, yanking us down a steep and slippery hill and over many downed logs. As we stumbled to the bottom with me yelling “easy” all the way, Rip was frantically circling for direction when Nick’s friend yelled, “there he is!” Just a few yards from where we standing, the buck was nestled in a hole in a ditch, strategically hidden and freshly expired. We phoned Mark on FaceTime to share the goods news and were then joined by many family and friends to celebrate the recovery. It was a party in the woods! Congratulations on a buck of a lifetime Nick and thank you for allowing us to be part of this great experience!

Deer position: slight quarter away
Entry: in between ham and mid-section
Exit: behind opposite shoulder
Pass through: yes
Age of track: 14.5 hours
Length of track: 775 yards

McKenzie shot this doe slightly quartered away the evening before our arrival. She knew to shoot for the exit at this shot angle and placed her shot further back. The doe ran off and McKenzie was able to track her about 150 yards before finding a pool of blood and some stomach content. After finding this, there was no longer a blood trail to visually follow. McKenzie wisely backed out and called for assistance. We agreed to meet early the next morning to allow the doe some time to expire. Rip was up for a turn. He did a lot of goofing off initially and required frequent redirection up to the hunter’s point of loss. Once we moved beyond the discovered pool of blood, Rip took off like a rocket, pulling hard and leading us across a steep hillside. He then took a sharp left turn and pulled us to the bottom of the hill where he located the doe in some tall grasses. We never saw another drop of blood. She was freshly expired and untouched by predators!! We were grateful to find her timely and beat the coyotes! McKenzie did an awesome job field dressing and dragging this big doe out with a 60 pound excited lab puppy riding on top of his prize most of the way 😂. Congratulations McKenzie and thanks for allowing us to be part of your recovery! Thanks to for the referral.

Kalee has been working very hard to score this buck. At 38 weeks pregnant, she continued in her pursuit and is merely days from her scheduled delivery. Kalee watched this buck for what seemed like forever the night she shot him until he gave her the appropriate shot angle. She knew to shoot for the exit on a quartering away shot and did just that. The shot was appropriately placed, but when Kalee’s husband Andrew Mosby checked the bolt, he saw green and stomach content. When checking the area he did not locate blood within 20 yards and wisely backed out to call for assistance. We arrived at the 25 hour mark and Timber was quick to locate the buck a short distance from the shot site. The track was bloodless and Kalee and Andrew had made the correct decision to give the buck time, as he had not been expired long. Had they pursued him that night, they would have surely pushed the deer and risked losing him. We were fortunate to be in the good company of Officer Houk and Sergeant Fisher of Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement who had stopped by for assistance. They were kind enough to help drag this massive buck out of the woods. Congratulations Kalee and thank you for allowing us to be part of your recovery! We couldn’t be more happy for you! Thanks to Kenzie Taylor for the referral.

Chris shot this buck the evening prior to our arrival and waited a few hours before tracking. Upon tracking the deer, he and his friend located the buck in a bed 150 yards away and watched him walk away slowly. They wisely backed out and called for assistance. We arrived and began the track at the 13 hour mark. Rip took off at an unusually fast pace for his normal style and quickly led us to the deer’s bed. He proceeded forward and entered an overgrown field where his head popped up and he became very excited. He ran fast toward a creek where he watered and I realized he had lost the line. We returned to the bed for a restart, and this time he turned slightly left and again entered the field, proceeding toward another tree line. As we approached the tree line, his head flew up and he began pouncing like a kangaroo through the tall grasses in a frantic circle. After one loop, he pinpointed the expired buck in his final bed. Unfortunately the coyotes had beat us. Congratulations on a great buck Chris and thank you for allowing us to be part of your recovery! Thank you Cody Thomas Hodge for the referral.

Jackson shot this buck quartered to and knew he’d hit behind the shoulder. Jackson and his friend had a good blood trail and initially tracked the buck about 400 yards before they lost blood. They thought they heard a deer moving during their blood trailing and backed out to call for assistance. Timber’s been letting Rip get some experience, and was a bit down in the dumps after Rip recovered 2 the day prior. Timber was more than happy to get a turn, and took us the 600 yards to Jackson’s buck in less than 12 minutes. I’m pretty sure he could have done it quicker if his handler could move faster 😂. Unfortunately the coyotes had beat us. Congratulations on this great archery buck Jackson! We couldn’t be more happy for you. Thank you for letting us be part of your recovery!

Billy shot this buck quartered to right behind the shoulder and watched him run through the field, slow down, and appear as if he may fall over, but he disappeared from sight. Upon blood trailing, Billy was able to track the buck to where he’d last seen him, then wisely backed out and called for assistance. We arrived at the 15 hour mark and put Rip on the track. Rip took off at a slow pace, needing some initial redirection from a few distractions. A couple back to work commands and he was nose down and stepping through the field past last blood. He went down a hill, and turned right into another field. Billy and his friend had went through this field the night prior to get his friend’s deer out, so we were not 💯 confident whether he was correct on this turn, but continued to follow. Rip then snapped and made an abrupt turn into the woods and pulled hard and fast all the way to the deer. Unfortunately the coyotes had beat us. Congratulations on a beautiful buck Billy! Thank you for letting us be part of your recovery!

Weapon: Compound Bow
Broadhead: Swacker fixed blade
Shot Angle: Quartered Away
Shot: abdominal cavity
Length of track: 400 yards
Age of track: 18 hours

Tyler shot this buck quartered away opening evening and was able to follow blood about 50 yards before losing it in a creek. Base on Tyler’s initial information, we assessed this as a forward hit and initially arrived 5 hours post shot. Rip was up to try our first track of the season. We’ve been working really hard this summer and it all came together on this track. His handler is his biggest barrier sometimes 😂. Rip started at the hit site and took off, following the blood trail that Tyler had initially found to the creek edge. At this point he entered the creek, watered, then came back out and circled us back to the hit site, restarting himself. He did this twice before entering and following the creek about 25 yards to exit the opposite side. We’ve practiced at creek crossings, but haven’t had standing water in any of our creeks to practice during the drought, so this was new for him, but he nailed it. Upon exit to the opposite side, be proceeded forward in the honeysuckle thicket and circled to do the classic J hook, holding his nose to the ground and showing us a smear of blood on a leaf under the tall grasses. He was on it! He then started running hot and kept circling the area, obviously in a scent pool that he was trying to sort out. He finally exited in a large hay field where we jumped a velvet buck that walked away slowly. I suspected an abdominal hit and we pulled out for the night with plan to return in the am after the buck had more time. I was super pleased with his work. Upon return the next morning, we restarted at the exit to the hay field and Rip followed the path of the deer jumped the night prior. He went toward an overgrown pond, then started searching, which I entertained and kept restarting him for quite some time. He found a shed and we kept trying before we questioned if we’d jumped the correct buck the night prior. The hunter felt the buck would most likely return to the honeysuckle thicket. We did a complete restart and Rip took us back to the blood smear he’d found the night prior, but this time continued forward another 200 yards through the thicket and exited in an overgrown field, where I saw buzzards starting to perch in trees. It started looking promising!! Rip quickly crossed the field and took us straight to the freshly expired buck. We couldn’t be more happy for you Tyler! Thank you for your patience and letting us be part of your recovery!

Weapon: Compound Bow
Broadhead: G5 Meat Eater mechanical
Shot Angle: Quartered To
Age of track: 5.5 hours
Length of track: 300 yards
Shot: High double lung, liver, guts

Jacob shot this buck quartered to, hitting high above the shoulder, and the buck ran off with the arrow. He shared the video of the shot. Jacob didn’t find blood and immediately backed out and gave us a call. After review of the video and seeing the entry, I’d shared low expectations for a recovery, but that we’d give it our best effort. The dogs have been rotating and Timber was up for his first track of the evening. He showed us a drop of blood at the hit site and took off in normal Timber fashion, showing us two other small drops of blood before locating the expired buck 8 minutes later, 300 yards away. Sometimes I love being wrong 😂. As says, you don’t know unless you go. The arrow had penetrated all the way through, hitting high on both lungs and running through most of the abdominal cavity. Thanks for letting us be part of your recovery! We had the best time! Thank you for the referral.
