Few days ago Wired To Hunt posted a podcast with John Jeanneney on the topic of deer tracking and recovery. The podcast can be accessed HERE. The whole podcast is about 90 minutes, and the first 30 minutes or so are on other topics. John's part starts around the 60-minute mark and lasts an hour. We hope you enjoy it.
This is the first year when John is not tracking. He turned 81 in April! He still stays very much engaged, dispatching hunters' calls to local handlers and advising hunters on the phone and over email.
Few days after the podcast had been aired we received this email from a hunter:
I was fortunate enough to have been able to listen to Wired
to Hunt Podcast #124 with John’s infinite wisdom filling the hour. I
wanted to express my thanks for opening my eyes to the “let it lay overnight”
theory. I let a buck I hit in the shoulder lay overnight when I knew he
was close by last year. To keep a long story short, I ultimately saw him
dragging his front leg (shattered at the shoulder) by a camera then out of my
life that next morning. I believe I would have continued pushing him had
I learned this information earlier, and definitely would have done nothing but
increase my odds of harvesting the animal. I know he died in a very thick,
impassible portion of my property. I never recovered the animal, and
think about it very often. With this new found knowledge I gained from a
short listen to John, I firmly believe I will in the future have a much better
chance of finding a deer in various situations, as well as be much more
inclined to contact someone with a tracking dog to assist me in the harvesting
of the animal.
I know that was a lot of rambling, but I wanted to say
THANKS!

VERY GOOD information in this podcast. It brought me here to this website. I learned a lot. We need to get this legalized in PA!
