call Ricky 940-395-9941

OR HERE'S ANOTHER POST

In an effort to keep my dogs nose fresh I'm offering up free tracking dog services. I'm not promising anything, but he's been pretty good on trails and found several deer so far. Dog will remain on leash the entire time for HIS protection. I would be willing to drive about 1.5hrs from the DFW area. Feel free to call or text me at (956)793-0904 with any questions you may have.

Some things to keep in mind if you should need help:

I've been getting lots of calls to help so we've been pretty busy. PLEASE, IF YOU NEED HELP CALL ME BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!! I've had way too many hunters call after several days/hours worth of tracking and unsuccessful looking. Please call me BEFORE overly contaminating the area or waiting several days.

Try not to contaminate the area too much, it can easily confuse the dog. If you've been tracking for a while and are giving it a "break" because you haven't found anything it's probably time to call someone with a dog.

Every animal taken is important to me. Wether it's a hog, doe, spike, or trophy of a lifetime. Don't hesitate to call if you think you may need help. My dog and I will do all we can to find your animal!

If you have any deer legs or deer blood you are planning on getting rid of please let me know. This will be useful on mock tracks during the off season!

ahhh heck!

Neck shot with a .223 I bet just kidding

Good Luck with the recovery. Will be waiting for updates

Id be willing to come help. Don't have a dog though.

Good luck!!!!

Which would be better for this situation plan A or B? Would be awesome to know plan A is/was alive. Scary to think it could be either one of them lost.

Plan A did someone say "Plan A"

Update!!!???

lol I hope you find it

Good luck!

Now I am curious how this is going.

Good luck and keep us posted

Sure wouldn't mind seeing plan A or B making an appearance

Bueller? Bueller?

I would be there with my Beagle in a heartbeat but she is scared of really big bucks.

You should ad that to the app...

well did he find it or what

Maybe just lost his shoes?

What's wrong with you

Good Luck Snake!!

Ugh. Hate that feeling.

Good news is that dogs really work.

Good luck.

Im gonna add a since everybody else is!!!! Good luck

Soooo....

Just got a text message from him. They found the hog.

Hog ? All this excitement for a hog? I figured the buck of a lifetime was slipping right through his fingers. Hog.....really?

He musta wanted that hog bad.

Hey, hogs need loving too. Might have to go find me one here in a little bit.

I watched the biggest hog I have seen in a long time for 15 minutes this morning. Just don't shoot 'em right now because I have bigger fish to fry. It was very difficult and I reached for the rifle and put it down twice I must admit.

We need an update!!!

Well?

Plan D?

Ya see, what had happened wuz....

all that over a hog. I was thinking you had 170 down or something. You are better than I am.

f5 f5 f5 f5 whats wrong with this thing no updates?

I'll add one to the thread as well.

SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You find him!!!

So far no bueno. Plan B. Gotta blood trail and then pumpfffttt -- it just disappears. But I haven't given up. Meeting another tracker there in a bit. Gonna give it one more try. Full details to follow.

cobra

Good Luck Amigo! Stay positive Sir!!

From the friendly Tower of the Mercantile, time to Heed to, Trice up and mill about softly...

P1 since Day1 Amigo
1310 The Ticket

FIND THAT TOAD

Good luck again!

Good luck Snake

So, what are they searching for?

a little young for a DAY1'ER but i jumped on board before rocco left, between the ticket and THF i dont get much work done!

and good luck red! cant blame ya for buck fever....

He's been searching for that deer or hog or whatever it is for 24 hours....Cant say he hasn't put forth the effort.. I am ready for pics!

For the late comers to the Plan B quest...

I like plan B!!! I hope you find him!!!

Oh, you meant "Hawg". Well, why didn't you just say so? Bow or gun?

Good luck!

You really think is about a hog ?

Yep, plan "B" works......

Well now we know why he is still looking... I hope you find him.. That feeling of not finding a big deer is a terrible feeling! I hope you find him soon!!

Um, not everyone is in the know about snake's Plan A or B.

I'm pickin up what your puttin down now! Plan B!
Man, I hope he finds him!

Cameron is known for his abundant sense of both humor and sarcasm.

And apparently the Chinese are very well aware of mine...

Thanks fellas. I've got my fingers crossed and will update as things develop.

Roger that. It's well-documented.

But many here had no clue what snake was after until he clarified.

Good luck man!! We are pulling for ya.

Come on Red. we've all got our fingers crossed

Time to call in Air Support

Look how sad he is... needs some

I think the deer dog needs more training, we might be waiting awhile

What part of country, is snake in?

This is starting to look like an unfavorable outcome. On a positive note maybe it was a clean miss and Plan B is still on his feet. Just sayin

I think there was a blood trail.

Good luck Snake!

The thought of it makes my belly hurt.

Here's another

Just got a text from him. It's amazing how far a dove can go with a load of shot in it, but the dog did its job.

yesssss awesome, im so glad

Y'all are killing me with these pics-that means YOU STX!

Hope you find him brotha.....

X2

Dawgs were one him briefly. Still runnin. May be a long evening.

holy cow. im out of popcorn

STX get another batch going

It sounds like he is still alive and trying to lay up but yall keep jumping him. I would back off and go back tomorrow. Good luck.

Recovery was unsuccessful however the deer is still alive... for now at least.

Mike Chittum and his dogs Jesse and Cutter were phenomenal. After three hours of tracking a stone cold trail, one of the dogs stumbled across the scent of the deer a quarter of a mile from where I had shot him. The smaller of his two dogs had it bayed briefly before we could get to it and it busted and ran like a bat out of hell. I saw the buck crash thru the thicket with the dog close behind up to a fence line -- buck went over but dog couldn't. Me, Mike and his other dog caught up to the first dog who was unable to cross the fence. It was clear this buck still had plenty of juice and we would run him to the next county if we didn't back off.

Please keep sarcastic comments to a minimum and no armchair quarterbacking as my nerves are a little raw right now. Obviously if I had it to do over again I would do a lot of things differently. But I gave it everything I had and then some for 49 hours.

Bottom line, I made a poor shot -- rushed it and pulled it. Instead of high shoulder most likely hit forward in his brisket. My hope is that he is such a tuff son of a gun that he makes it for somebody else, if not me to get a chance at him.

It will happen to everyone if they hunt long enough Red. Just sucks that it happened on such a incredible buck.

You did everything you could to recover him. That's all anyone can do in that situation.

Tough deal. You will see him again on a food plot or at your feeders. IME it might a couple of weeks though if you hit him like you think. You did all you could when called in the dogs

Thanks for the words of encouragement, guys. Vamos a ver.

Bummer. Like stated above it happens. Atleast you gave it everything you had. Hopefully he will return and you can close the deal on him.

If he had that much energy for that long, he will most likely pull through. Maybe you'll get that 2nd attempt. You did put forth a great effort.

Maybe. Just heard from tracker that when he got his dogs out at home he realized that buck gored the one that had him bayed. Puncture wound to hind quarter. Buck (and dog) still had plenty of fight left in.

Dang.

Whereabouts was this?

You put forth a great effort. It wasn't meant to be this time, don't beat yourself up too bad. These things happen, it sucks, but it happens.

No rude comments here, we've all done it. Here's hoping you get another chance and that the buck makes it till then.

Be saying a prayer for you and your trophy brother

Tough deal. Hope you see him again

Its happens to the best of us!!! You put in a valiant effort to get him and besides if he went this long and still had fight in him, he'll probably be ok!!! I hope you get another crack at him!!!

Hit my first buck forward in the brisket. He lived to be hunted another day.

You did right, attempted to make a recovery, sometimes it just aint in the cards. Better luck next time.

Hell of an effort you gave. Them big boys can get the best of any of us. Sounds like the deer still had more than enough fight in him and should live to breed another day

Always tomorrow Amigo
Stay positive and hunt that Water source HARD...Bucks injured he won't be far from Aqua

Just catching up. Sorry to hear Red. He's alive and will more than likely make it. Seen a brisket shot buck chasing doe before the wound was even healed.
