Twice now I have a bit of a poser.
Big blood spash at point of impact,deer has legged it.Visible blood trail tapering off as trail continues.so far so good,dog happy nose down going well.Then suddenly nothing nada gone,dog cast out as normal nothing cast again as normal nothing.After half hour plus of casting dog goes off like a hound from hell and deer is located. The gap in the scent both times has been about 75 yards and this has happened to two diffent dogs,one deer fallow doe other a buck.Dogs both experienced.Weather dry but windy.one deer lung shot other belly(rifle was sent off for some practice) Any ideas or theories?
