Ah those ears!
Come daylight the bush fire smoke was effn terrible,visibility was ordinary but I kept going and the dog was onto deer 350-400 yards before we got to them. He has mannerisms that let me know. After pushing on they got onto me too and all I saw was four deer going away lol.
We pushed on for a fair way hoping to spring them watching their back track to no avail. Two k`s back towards the ute and the dog swung around into the breeze and indicated that there was a chance. I went back and forth until I found the hind (only because she moved) and then in thick **** she bedded.
We dropped down to her level and got up to the 60-70 yard mark and she heard me of course in the summer bush and got up for a good listen and stare then she dropped a few metres downhill for another listen and look and as usual decided to prop at a covering tree. I took a few bits of video through the smoke anyway and played a few games with her. After she had gone she belled three times getting further and further away.
