[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5299566, member: 2805"] Honestly, the deer will probably survive unless jacket fragments perforated the rectum (then he will abscess out and die in 5 to 7d). These deer dogs in MS are different than in TN... not only do they track the wounded deer based on the scent a wounded deer gives off from the interdigital scent gland, they will catch the live injured deer, bay it, and usually kill it before you can arrive and finish it off with a knife. A leg shot deer is nearly 100% recoverable with these dogs. You can argue the ethics of that (allowing injured deer that would have recovered on their own to be chased down and dispatched by the pack). But if a deer is not injured enough to be able to run the dogs in circles for 2.5 miles (the owner called them back after he realized they were never going to catch him, they never lost the trail) and the dogs couldn't catch him, in all likelihood the injury wasn't severe enough to be mortal. Hopefully he shows back up on camera in a couple weeks... my buddy is hunting this afternoon, same spot, no buzzards circling yet. [/QUOTE]
