paulcarol+FollowFound my buck using just my nose 👃One of my most memorable recoveries happened years ago during mule deer season. I took a shot right at last light—looked like a solid hit—but the buck disappeared into thick sagebrush just below the ridge. By the time I got down, it was pitch black. No blood trail, no flashlight strong enough to cut through the dark. So, I dropped to all fours and used my nose. Sure enough, I caught that unmistakable buck scent and followed it straight to him—he’d gone maybe 50 feet. Smelling my way to a deer wasn’t something I ever thought I’d do, but it worked. Anyone else ever used scent to recover one in the dark? #hunting #trackingtips #deerhunting #huntinghacks117Share
Manuel Bright+FollowI dug a pond on my hunting land💧 So I decided to dig a small waterhole on my hunting property last year, and guys... this has been absolutely incredible for tracking during hunting season! Not only does it keep deer on my land year-round, but during those brutal summer droughts when deer hit water sources multiple times a day, I can predict their movement patterns so much better. The trails around my waterhole are like highways now! Anyone else tried this? 🦌 #hunting #DeerHunting #HuntingProperty #TrackingTips #WildlifeManagement11026Share
