2022 Deer
I had been hunting deer here and there but did not see any I liked. On Dec 31st we got home late but at the last minute I headed to my spot. I grabbed my brothers Matrix 380 because I could not find my bolts with broadheads for my Mag340. I also couldn't find my HECS suit, so I went into my ground blind wearing shorts and sandals with a long- sleeved shirt. I got in the spot at 5:06PM and at 5:34 a buck I new from last year showed up. He got hit with a 150 grain TrailBlazer through the lungs. Since I had the car and was wearing shorts, I called my Dad to bring the truck and my dog. My Dad recently got me a dog that flushes birds, retrieves like a champ and will blood track. He doesn't chase live deer on sight or smell but the person that trained the dog told me he will blood track anything leaving blood scent. Dad and my brother showed up and I took my dog to the spot where the deer was when I shot. I released him from the lead and gave the track command. He immediately put his head down and and quickly went right to the deer, about 75 yards away. It was heavy brush and dark out so the dog made this a quick job and I was amazed at how he stayed on the trail. The deer was great but the blood tracking was the coolest thing to me!
Re: 2022 Deer
Congratulations to everyone who had a great hunt! I am on here reading but I don't have time to post like I used to. Football team and Fishing Team are time consuming. My Dad bought a fishing rod company, so I am helping make rods. I also got a job guiding at a bird hunting place. I got a new trained dog a few months ago, and I take him out every chance I get. A lot of doves and ducks. We spent a week in the National Forest hunting woodcock. I checked the deer block but now I'm back to duck hunting. School starts in two days and I have another whole year of HS after this. Happy New Year to everyone!

Re: 2022 Deer
Congratulations on the buck and the dog XB! I had hunting springers most of my life, some of them field trial dogs and one was a National champion. They are absolute hard core hunting dogs and best friends! They aren’t stupid and will learn with every cast and hunt. They never ever give up!

See how tough these Texans are! You guys up in Canada need to hunt in shorts and flip flops in December too!
