Sounds great to me...lost a really nice 7 pt (21 in spread) once due to a night of hard rain after a liver shot. The brute was 7 yards and I was 30+ ft up a tree. Hit him in the liver and I think one lung. Till I found him the meat was spoiled. Had I a dog or known someone that did I could of retrieved the buck that night. One of you guys need to train a dog...sooner or later I will probably give you business.
Although there are valid reasons for this being a good bill, this isn't one of them.
If you had very hard rains, it would have been very difficult for a dog to find as well as scent washes away.
I have called in K9 for a couple of times for balistics tracking and recent rains was the reason for not being able to get a positive search.
Everyone makes mistakes or flinches, but I do question the motives, if the thought is "Now I can take that shot, if I mess up, I'll just get a dog to track it"
One thing I like to hear at HTE courses is practice, practice, practice as nothing beats proficiency
It is almost as bad as someone saying make Flo Orange required for everything, then we won't have to identify our target...just doesnt make sense
