A video of Ray and Roscoe's track from last October


Ray Holohan from Illinois sent us a link to the video showing him and Roscoe tracking. Thanks Ray!

"This is a video of Rosco on a successful deer track last October 2010. The video was made by Mike Wise a Southern Woods and Water TV prostaff production. This was a night time track about 5 hours old. When I got there they did a little interview with me and Rosco. The track started where they had followed the blood to where it entered a large switch grass field of 700 acres. The quality of the track is poor due to insufficent lighting. As you look at the video you will see me making an adjustment to Rosco's harness, I missed a leg hole ,"whoops" . They had 3 guys following me looking for blood. Rosco tracked for 3 hours about 2 1/2 miles when we jumped the deer out of a woundbed in a dried creek bottom. The deer ran on to the adjacent property where we did not have permission to track. We did not recover the deer, but Rosco did a hell of a good job. After the track we went and looked at the video of the shot frame by frame and it looked like the arrow slid along the shoulder blade and into the neck area not hittng any vitals. A little bit of this video would have appeared on TV had we recovered the deer."
