A successful track

Shawn Daffer of rural Indianola and “Gus” rest with Gus’s successful deer-hunting opening-weekend track. Shawn said this morning, “Gus did awesome on the track. We ended up tracking (the deer) a half-mile and found him.” Shawn and his bloodhounds Gus, Annie and Dixie track wounded deer for hunters who have lost their trail. Contact him and his hounds at (308) 539-6968. Red Willow County Sheriff Alan Kotshwar said 380 deer were checked in over the weekend, surpassed only by 400 a few years ago.
