This is a post I made yesterday morning....
Turning out to be the worst opener ever!!! Saw a few small bauck and does. Shot a doe this morning and couldnt find her which I really hate. Went home and got my black lad on a 10 ft leash and put him on the trail. He was off like a bullet dragging me about 400 yards through some very rough stuff. I kept seeing blood so he was on her trail. I was wiped! Its hard to hold him back when he knows theres a deer in it for him. We got in some really nasty stuff and I got tangled in some thorny vines the size of your thumb. While I was trying to get loose my dog snatch the leash out of my hand. The leash is on a choke chain around his neck.He vanished!! My son saw him about ten minutes later chasing a doe...the one I shot i guess and thats the last Ive seen of him. We live next to the property I hunt, not worried about him finding his way home, he roams these woods. Im scared sick that leash will get tangled and he will be stuck there to starve or choke himself to death. We live in the country and there are miles of land he could be on...depending on where the doe ran.I have no way to find him. I can only hope he caught her and is laying up eating on her somewhere and will make it home. Im going out later and just wander around and hope. Just damn. We wandered and called him..even went and got the 4 wheeler and drove all over the place. He loves to chase that 4 wheeler but dont think he would leave a down deer to come to it,if he ever caught her, and he wont give up the chase. Worse opening weekend ever!!!
He was fast asleep on the front porch this morning...minus the leash!!! We are very happy he made it home. Had a member PM me that he would pray for my buddy's safe return, for that I thank you sir.
