Scott i think if she was mine she would find a place in my home when she does retire on gods terms!!!!I wish peta and the rest of the so called animal lovers could catch wind of that.A deer living to that age and gettin the kind of treatment to be able to live that long is just unreal.Try doin that in the wild anywhere!!!!Great job!!!

Seriously that has to be some kind of record for a whitetail? Has anyone else ever seen a deer get that old? Good job scott!!!

Hey Scott, what are you feeding that old girl? I can only imagine what those teeth would look like in a wild deer. Rick

To answer the question of why they like to lay near water when they are shot. According to the wildlife vet I've dealt with and a few Professors I've had in the past when an Animal goes into a full system shock like that their body reacts very similar to dehydration. So they feel they are dehydrated and go to the nearest source to "fix" the issue.

Now from my personal experience this is not 100% accurate but it does however make some sense.

The best way to trail a deer with a poor blood trail, is to use a dog on a leash. It's too late now since the trail has gone cold, but when you have a tough tracking job, most any dog on a leash will easily stay on the deer's trail.

It cuts out all the circling and searching for faint sign.Depending on the dog, you can practically jog to the wounded animal.

hope this helps.
