Buck Retrieve
Man's best friend saves the day and retrieves a boy's first buck.
 My 14 year old son Ethan shot his first antlered buck at 7:30 Saturday morning, but we lost the blood trail. I had Ethan concentrate on trying to find more blood to track while I took our lab, Ramsey, downwind of the cover and started working in a crossing pattern hoping he would smell the deer.

Gotta love those labs!
WOW!!!!
what an amazing story!! and a great dog!!
WOW!!!!!!!!

Man's BEST friend!
Wow! Only a lab would do that. Labs are such great dogs.
WOW, what an great hunt. A 1st buck and a best friend to help bring the trophy home!
Great Story. When I was 14 (now 25) had the same thing happen to me. I was duck hunting with my dad and two of his buddies when a doe that had been injured the prior weekend started swimming towards our blind in the middle of the lake. Upon shooting her my good friends black lab Duke leaped from the blind and swam out and retrieved the 110 lbs doe and retrieved her to hand. Never thought that I would see something so amazing again.
I always grew up with labs. My neighbors dog attacked me this January and I had to go to the ER it was a rottweiler it was the dumbest thing I ever did see.
nice start ETHAN, the memories you made that day will remain with you a lifetime, thats what hunting is really all about.you're lucky to have shared this day with youre amazing lab and a caring father, good luck to you on youre hunts and treasure each day .6phunter
That is just amazing!
I'll bet that was one proud dog!
Congratulations Ethan. I do hope you remembered to give Ramsey extra dog treats for the next week.
nice dog dont sell him or give him away
Persiphone, my black Lab made a similar attempt that I wrote about in my book "Backyard Deer Hunting: Converting deer to dinner for pennies a pound" that will be published in July. She made several attempts, even swiming back to shore once, as if to measure the distance. My deer had no horns and she could not find anything to grab hold of. She sure tried. Retrieving things out of the water are what Labs are suppose to do? Right? She sure thought so.
great buck and a truly amazing dog. i hope when i get a dog it can be as intelligent and brave as that lab
Great story and great dog,truly that mans best friend.
congrats on the first buck ethan, am glad that your dog helped make your hunt successful
