Had a incident one time with a deer that a hunter refused to track. I was hunting over a valley when I heard six or seven shots down in the bottom below me. I watched a hit deer run up in the woods and bed down and shortly after I could see the hunter down below in the bottom walking back and forth looking around. I made my way down and told him the deer was hit and where it was laying, I even showed him the blood trail where it crossed the creek. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when he refused to track it because his feet was wet. I made my way to a point where I could see from and finished the deer after he just walked away. I didn't have a tag so I dressed the deer out and called the game warden so they could take it and donate the meat, the thing that pissed me off the most was that had it been a buck he would have been willing to track it but since it was a doe it was easier to just go shoot another one.

As a teen my dad used to drag me to go hunting in some horrible brushfields and canyons in the St. Joe and Clearwater area in Idaho. Also the Lochsa upper Selway area. I learned to hate brush and packing elk up out of it.

One way to bring back the wildlife would be to end guiding

Very shortsighted idea

[@zachvydra9309]

There’s more nuance to both of your opinions

[@thethinbrownduke6412]

I agree, but sometimes you just can't find it....

[@thethinbrownduke6412]

Thanks for the info as always 😊

One way to do it would be follow the tracks to the end

I've always used dogs for tracking. never cared if it was legal, or not. My spaniels find a wounded rooster in a field of healthy ones. finding a deer is a yawner for them.

Thats one of the reasons I don't like small for use rounds. Yes on our small fl deer a 22-250 or 223 can work on deer. And I have seen it work ok in crop fields Now back up to the edge of a swamp so thick you can't see in it. Those 22 that don't leave a blood trail not good. The bigger hogs are even worse the fat and mud soak up blood. Oh where your were talking about preators . I started having bees now have a bear. And this thing not like the little ones we hunted in the 80's and 90's when the weight the state set was 75- 110 lbs minimum. On the game cam this thing right around 400 lbs.

[@tbjtbj4786]

Oh and in the fl swamps you might very well have to talk to a gator on who actually owns that deer or hog
