WNYBuckHunter Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I guess if you are looking a full 12-24 hours later the deer is definitely dead so no need to carry a weapon to dispatch if still wounded game. I would expect that deer search dogs would be called in sooner than later and may still find a deer that needs to be finished off and you would want a weapon with you to do th job which would throw a monkey wrench in the "just walkin my dog" strategy. I carry while walking my dog all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow nocker Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 sorry.but if my dog was a sniffing/tracking breed of dog and i lost a nice deer then i would pay the fine if i got one.Especially how deer search is always so backed up this time of year.I just wouldn't carry a weapon with me and be in regular clothes. A guy i used to work with that didn't even hunt,used to track down wounded deer with his basset hound all the time for guys. My bulldog could only track down a bowl of dog food.And that's cause it never moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guns&ReligionCop Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 My dad hit a big 8 last night. It jumped the bow string and he hit high in the shoulder and the arrow didn't pass all the way through. He searched for 7 hours today until his knees gave out and he's home laid up now. I can't get out until thurday. Sucks the meats wasted but maybe I can find the horns for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erussell Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 If he hit him high in the shoulders and he didnt find him I bet he's still alive. would nt be the first shoulder shot deer to survive. My uncle shot one of the unluckiest bucks around a few yrs ago that had two healed over broadheads in his shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
