Saginaw Michigan. Brandon Anthony

148" State Land Buck. 
This Giant State Land Slob came in right at last light. The shot looked perfect and the arrow indicated something totally different. Anthony knew his buck was gut shot by coloration and smell of his arrow. He backed out and waiting till daylight the following day. The blood was not great however they were able to track him almost 1/2 mile. Blood drops where getting farther and farther apart and that's when Anthony realized he need the help of Sypris. A 21# wiener dog. Sypris recovered the buck .61 miles away. We never found where he bedded so I think he was pushed because Anthony path out of woods was the path the wounded buck crossed. Bring in the hounds before you bring in the grid search party. 

Almont Michigan Tim Streeter

Tim made a 42 yard shot on this Oakland Co. 8 point. Tim thought he missed him low so he was extremely bummed out because he knew his abilities in making a 40+ yards shot was no problem. After getting done and searching for his arrow he quickly realized his blood soaked arrow was singing a different tune!!! They waited a few hours before picking up the trail. The blood trail was extremely easy to follow. A couple hundred yards later the blood trail was getting sparse so they decided to back out until morning. That night Tim brother suggested that he should hire Tracker Rob & Sypris. So tim felt it was worth the fees to make sure he recovered his best buck to date. Sypris made quick work of this buck and found him in 20-25 min. The blood trail did get sparse however I feel Tim would have recovered him on his own however in some cases we have recovered liver shot deer over 1,000 yards away. In this case Tim buck made it 400 yards. Congrats Tim and when in doubt back out and bring in the hounds as tracking insurance. 

Jason Miners Linden Michigan

Sypris longest recovery on a non pushed deer. We found him dead and he never bedded. 
The shot was about 12 yards from a ground blind. The bolt tipped with a 3 blade cut on contact cut the bottom of the liver and exited out the guts. They had a great blood trail for 50-75 yards then the faussit was turned off. Sypris locked on real quick which is a dead giveaway that the buck was dead. We tracked him 1.46 miles. We would find blood drops to confirm her work. This buck did not follow the rules of a gut shot buck. 
Rule: 1. Gut shot buck will bed down in the first 100-200 yards. (Well his first bed was 1.46 miles away)
Rule : 2. Gut shot buck will go to water. 
(He avoided all water and died in swamp grass - near water)
This was Jason first buck and he was sick to his stomach knowing he made a good shot and he couldn't find it. Truly an amazing work by Sypris. 

Austin combs Fenton Michigan

Austin was using a crossbow and his bolts were tipped with a 2 blade rage. The shot was nearly straight down at a distance of 7 yards. Austin was sitting in a tree stand about 18 feet high. Austin dad seen the bolt enter near the spin about 12" back from where the shot should have been. Knowing the buck was gut shot the did not track him and called Rob Miller & Sypris to track Austin first buck. Sypris made quick work of recovering the buck .30 of a mile away. Even tho it was a easy track for Sypris it would have been impossible to eye track the blood trail because it was almost non existent. The buck bedded only once before we found him. Unfortunately the coyotes and crows were feasting on him upon finding him near a swamp. This is part of hunting and cycle if life. Austin was super excited and his dad is going to have a shoulder mount done.
