This year Jax had an alright year. Early season we tracked a gut shot deer that wasn’t lethal. We tracked over 1,000 yards with no beds and down to pin drops of blood for his first deer.
Second we put him on my wife’s first deer we knew was expired, he didn’t react well to the crp field, he was wet and cold.
Firearm season he made his big debut for a friend in the group, he started on a few white hairs, about 50 yards in we found blood we would lose it back and forth. We had to start at last blood a few times but after about 1,000 yards Jax was at a dead run after having me crawling on my hands and knees under brush we hit the open and he had me on a blood highway, he found his first unknown track.
Our last track was during firearm season, brisket shot. He was on but after quite the track and only 2 blood spots I pulled him off, another non fatal shot unfortunately. We tried our hardest on him but no recovery.
I can’t wait to see what next season holds for him, although a tiny dog he has the drive to find them and will only get better we just need the calls.
