Congrats to Dylan Derboven!
20 hour old recovery by Mulberry Bottoms Wounded Game Recovery in some of the worst conditions any of us have ever seen and this girl took her time and rocked it! This deer went to cross a dry creek and instead of crossing he walked down it for about 100 yards before deciding to climb a bank and exit. With an occasional drop of blood in the sand Paisely worked methodically, when she hit that wall in that creed she took her time checking every trail before deciding which one to take out of there. I only found one more drop of blood the remaining 250 yards of the track before spotting the buck, unfortunately already demolished by coyotes.
This deer would not have been recovered without a dog and for those drone enthusiasts, it wouldn’t have been found by a drone either. The leaf canopy on the trees is still just way too dense for thermals!
